my car trips over itself when driving within the first mile of driving, then the service light kicks on, and the diagnostic says misfire in cylinder 4, what do i do?

 

Fix the misfire.

 

Tie its shoes!!
Ok seriously, because its specific to cylinder four, check the spark plug, wire... start with the basics. Report back and we'll go from there.

 

spark plug has been changed in cylinder 4 already, what now?

I pick the ignition coil... NEXT!

 

Did you check the wire? Make sure it is snug on both ends, and that it is not burned anywhere.

 

Do a compression test.
