Come to find out the misfire was caused by me forgetting to put this little sensor back on with the coil pack. The little sensor has part number "F6AF-18801-AA" stamped on it with one single wire in a loom going to it with a little metal bracket attached to the side. Apparantly this little sensor gets it's ground signal from the passenger-front bolt on the coil pack... So if you've removed the coil pack for any reason and are now having a random misfire, make sure the little ground wire is screwed down on the driver-front and the little sensor I mentioned above is screwed down on the passenger-front.

Thanks for posting about the radio capacitor.
