need some help with an ignition problem!

My T/A started sputtering and popping the other day, and it threw 2 codes: p0357 (ignition coil G malfunction) and p0307 (cylinder 7 misfire). I've replaced the coil pack (seemed to help some), the spark plug, and swapped wires with one of the other cylinders, and it still throws the p0357 code (but strangely not the p0307, at least not yet). Is there anything else that would cause this code? The only thing I can think of after that is a wiring problem, but what wires I could see looked fine...

Can anyone please help?

I know someone that was having the same problem. I don't know if he has figured it out yet, but I will let you know.

yeah fuses seem fine, also sprayed the connectors this morning with brake cleaner (I know, but its all I had) to clean them up a bit. Seemed to help for a little while then it went back to the same thing. I'm gonna try getting some electrical contact cleaner from Radio Shack and see if I can clean them up real good. Otherwise I have to go through the wiring diagram and troubleshoot the circuit which is going to suck...
