Default Car is misfiring lately - this usually happens during startup - Assistance? Codes Inside

Control Module Part Number: 8D0 907 551 M
Component and/or Version: 2.7l V6/5VT G01 0002
Software Coding: 06711
Work Shop Code: WSC 20005
4 Faults Found:
16684 - Random/Multiple Cylinder Misfire Detected
P0300 - 35-00 - -
16685 - Cylinder 1 Misfire Detected
P0301 - 35-00 - -
16687 - Cylinder 3 Misfire Detected
P0303 - 35-00 - -
16686 - Cylinder 2 Misfire Detected
P0302 - 35-00 - -

New plugs in March, and I find it highly unlikely 3 plugs and/or 3 coil packs would fail all at once so I don't think its that. Also, this came up once, we reset it, and it came up again with the same Cylinders as above... so its the same ones misfiring randomly.

Most recently the last thing I did on the car before this showed up was cleaned my airfilter and reinstalled the airbox. But this was almost 3k Miles ago...

Where do I turn first?

Thanks for anyone's input and help.

Default Probably ignition amps. STFA for the procedure, but switch the plugs on top of the airbox and see

if the codes move to 4,5,6 cyls.

Ok I'll try that. If it is one of the ignition amps, how much are new ones and where can I get one?

I just bought one from dealer $250. I'd probably order online next time. ECS, purems, etc.

There's a diy component repair in the archives somewhere. Amazed me...
