Could be plug, plug wire, or coil. Check them first

Check to see if the plug fouled out. You might have bought a too cold plug. You also might be leaking oil.

Yes, leaking oil. As in oil on the plug. Which causes a foul plug and misfire. I didn't necessarily know that you bought the TR55s. Sorry for the misjudgment.
