The spark plugs should be good for at least 100,000 miles. Thee coil stems last a while there is no change interval for those. You could have a bad coil are there any codes in the computer of the car?

I need the exact code numbers not code descriptions so we can swap coils around to see if the misfire moves to another cylinder with the coil.

You would have to splice the new one in with some crimp and seal butt connectors.
