#4 cyclender misfire keeps coming up on the computer. I have already changed the plugs spark boots and coils. This is my daughter's car. She had lost the gas cap for a couple weeks inwhich it rained a lot. I had her put fuel treatment in and get a new cap but no luck yet. Any suggestions?

Since you refer to spark plug boots, I assume this is a quad4. What you need to replace is the white plastic coil housing. On that engine that works like a distributor cap and they can crossfire very easily. I have been there many times.
