Cyl 5 misfire

Car only has 34k miles. Rarely drive it all. Other day check engine started blinking. Anyone have a clue what do? I hate to bring it in and have nem parts change or charge a fortune for something I could do myself

Start by Swapping the coil and plug wire with the one next to it. If the miss follows the coil/wire to the next cylinder over you know exactly what you’re dealing with.

Swap an injector over from another cylinder and see if it follows.

Now I don't feel like such a fool for changing my plugs at around 40K miles!
