so one thing i noticed is if i let the car warm up it will stop missing if it’s cold it will miss slightly at idle and will miss heavy under load. once its a little bit warm it will run fine under load.
Intake manifold gasket shrinkage could be the problem. When the engine warms, expansion helps "re-seal" it... possibly getting un-metered air when cold.

Not so much bolt tightening, but actual gasket shrinkage. Smoke check (when stone cold) or use your choice of (safe) aerosol spray to see if your idle speed changes when you spray the area with engine running.

On my 07 there is a common ground for the coils on each side. Mine corroded bad and lost all spark on the passenger bank. Really have to hunt for it but it's a round eyelet on the side of the block.
