Default coil packs have a lose sound to them

So i've been trying to track down a misfire code, i replaced my plugs, and when doing so i noticed all of my coilpacks have this kinda lose spring sound, like a little little spring is tumbling and shaking inside them

this cant be right, should there be any sound when i shake my coilpacks..?

i dont have anyone near me to swap out and reset/scan for codes, but what do you guys think

That noise is normal. The spring just sits on top of the plug and is pretty long. It rattles off the inner bore if you shake it. There are also pellets inside of them to help dissipate heat. They sound rough too. Swap packs from a good cylinder to a bad one and see if it helps. Bad fuel is the usual cause of misfires in the S.
