What does a misfire feel like?
Technically, a misfire is the result of incomplete combustion (or zero combustion) inside one or more of an engine’s cylinders.

What does code 4 mean on Toyota Corolla ignition coil?
If it reads the cylinder you swapped the coil to it would indicate the coil is faulty. If still #4 try swapping plugs and repeat.

Would be easier if you could get access to or buy a code reader/ scanner, that would save repeated trips to have the code read.
