Intermittent Misfire - NO CEL

I have had a intermittent misfire on cylinder 5 for as long as I have had the car (2003 3.0i). Fortunately, it does not turn on the Check Engine Light. When I clear it, it will not return for a day or two.

I replaced my coil packs and plugs a while back (the car had over 130,000 miles and unknown if/when previously replaced) and it did not resolve it.

This weekend, I decided to swap the #4 and 5 injectors to see if the problem was related to a failing injector. Since then, I have started it several times with no codes. I think the problem may have been a poor electrical connection that was addressed when I pulled and reinstalled the power connections.

Fingers crossed, the problem is behind me.
