Can a bad coil on a cop ignition be repaired?
Even if you find a bad coil, simply replacing it is not the whole repair, because like so many other parts of a vehicle, COP ignition coils don’t really die, they’re murdered. We’ll discuss how and why later; first let’s focus on finding the misfire. Ignition misfire diagnosis can be relatively quick and simple if you have the right tools.
Can a bad ignition coil cause an engine to misfire?
The misfiring behavior of a failed ignition coil resembles the effects of failed sparkplugs or problems with the fuel delivery system. An engine can misfire at any point when you have a bad ignition coil. Although, more often, misfires happen when you accelerate because you subject the engine to more load.
What should I do after replacing coils and spark plugs?
The code P0353 on this after you only had misfire codes and you changed the coil and plugs on cylinder number 3. You should disconnect cylinder coil and check connector and pins in coil are not damaged and if they are okay then try to install another coil to see if you got a bad new coil.

What to do if you have a spark plug misfire?
I suggest first removing and checking the spark plug and swap in a new one or swap with cylinder next to it. This way the misfire moves to other cylinder then you know it was plug and replace it. If misfire still on number one then check for spark and injector pulse and replace injector or coil as needed.
What causes a misfire on a coil on plug?
When the engine cools off overnight, the fuel in the rail cools and condenses, leaving a small pocket of vapor at the highest point in the rail, right next to injector No. 1. Naturally the misfire clears up quickly as the rail fills with fuel, and there’s no reason to chase this problem any further (how could you possibly fix it?).

When do spark plugs fail at the same time?
When you get a P0300 out of the blue like that, it is not likely that several spark plugs failed at the same time. It is more likely that it is a common or shared item. That would include the crankshaft (or camshaft) position sensor, coil to distributor wire, coil, rotor, or ignitor.
