The coil pack on #7 is not working properly. Could be loose, could be the plug, could be the wiring harness...

Yeah, I didn't pay attention to the engine, but I wouldn't say it's quite time for a compression check just yet.

I'd check the coil out first, maybe swap it with another one to see if the misfire moves. Maybe even swap fuel injectors with a working cylinder and check the head gasket out before I'd give up and let the man do a compression test.

thanks i picked up another coilpack on my way back from class today and will hopefully have it in tonight and hopefully issue solved. Yesterday when i was going to class the check engine light turned off periodically, could this be more of a wiring issue? like loose/bad connection?

It takes 3 consistent trips in the circuit to turn on the CEL or MIL. So if it is periodic the CEL/MIL can and will turn off from time to time. Your issue is still present though
