Does anyone have any suggestions or ideas of what could be going on?

It's not really going off you have two levels. A pending code which is when the PCM detects a fault but it's not met all the parameters to turn the light on. Then you have a hard set code that turns the light on. Now you could have gotten a bad coil. What brand did you use? Some of the aftermarket are notorious for going through two or three before you get a good one sometimes. Also check your plug gap if it's too wide you can get misfires. Also dirty fuel injectors or vacuum leaks can all mess with the AFR which can sometimes show up as a miss fire code.
