Multiple misfires

I’ve changed my spark plugs again (bousch double platinum) and got a different set of coils. Yet it still misfires every cylinder except 301. No struggling starting or rough idle. Not sure what to do next. Any ideas? Gas mileage is where it should be. So?

I noticed that in the manual (stupid me) didn’t check and was told to gap the plugs .44 instead of 0.04 which it says in the manual and the plugs should be NGK.

James, first car? how are the other maintenance items on your car? Those items you are referring to will be a lot more fun to experience if your car handled well...

just asking because I recently did mine as well and have to say that the part which made it feel "like new" again was definitely ball joints and wheel bearings.
