Quick follow-up, pin tweak didn't help me. Got an engine light in the same high rev scenario as before. Right at 7k when really going all in on a pull in 3rd. Just got home and checked with code reader. Oddly, it didn't register anything, which puzzles me as it did blink the CEL.

Checked antifreeze in case combustion gases are getting in thinking in regards to head gasket integrity. Looked fine, topped off my overflow can, but it still had normal fluid levels as well.

As a bear as that was to work on for me, I may just take it to a shop for the service. Or save the first round of troubleshooting shop fee and just put a new coil on it and see what happens.
If that fails, I haven't spend $300 to install a $150 part. New to the dedicated coils per cylinder and actually working on them. I'm used to replacing everything at once, but also know some of these coils are closer to the exhaust than others. If the single replacement fixes my issue, great, if they move to others, next round I'll replace everything.

I could do it faster the second go round, but that is some tight working space for big hands. Will get some magnets before the next go round and go find a 1/4" drive 10mm socket to fit in there a little better. I was able to use my 3/8 ratchet, but it was tight.
