cyl #1 missfire

for some reason cylinder 1 likes to missfire occasionaly..........its hot in houston, and one time when i was changing my spark plugs i left cylinder 1 unhooked for about a good 30 seconds the car was running, the car started to jolt and then i was lookngi for the problem, kept the car on for about 30 - 40 seconds, and i think it caused damage maybe? cause now cylinder 1 started to msisfire 3 weeks after that ;/

car idles rough and it seems to happen only when i turn the a/c on

well you left the plug wire off so yeah it will set the code.if you still get the code after securing the wire and clearing the code.the problem we are seeing the most is that the intake/exhaust valves are adjusted too tight.seeing that you are from warmer area i can see where this would be more noticable
