Just changed spark plugs due to mileage. After changing them engine started to miss like it had a foweled plug. I triple checked everthing and instalition and plugs seem fine. Was wondering if I caused a problem by unpluging #1 coil during instalation while battery was still hooked up.

First thing you need to do is have the codes read, Autozone does it free, Post the results with the code number(s). Even if the service engine light is not on, there should be freeze frame data stored.
If it won't make it to Autozone, buy a cheap scanner, they can be had for 30-40 dollars, a good investment, since they cover all cars sold in the USA from 96 on.
