Unhappy intermittent miss

i have a 2004 dakota quad cab v-8, i keep getting an intermittent miss and when i check codes its always cyl5 miss fire i switched coils with another cyl and cleared the codes. i run it for sevaral hundred miles before the mil come on when i checked codes it was still on cyl 5. i also get code p2314 sometimes. the only time i can feel a miss is when i am ideling at a stop sign and release the brakes, when i accelerate it smooths out. any help would be app.

Default only one cly #5

I could be wrong but if it’s the same one all the time after all the tests you ran it just may be that one fuel injector I don’t think you can just clean one injector so you may need to get the whole injector system taken out and cleaned all at one time, or get some fuel injector cleaner in a bottle just dump in gas tank see if it gets rid of the problem

Did you pull that one sparkplug and look at it it may be that plug?

P2314-Ignition coil #5 Secondary Circuit-Insufficient Ionization
Basically the spark plug too fast and not allowing a complete combustion. If you have swapped out the coil with another cylinder and still have the same problem, try replacing the ignition coil capacitors; there are two mounted on each valve cover. It's a $5 part and the OE part number is 56028644AB
