To add to this, makes sure it's an actual Denso coil and not a China rip off. Kinda spendy for an older Toyota, but when they don't have to replace it every 6 months it will be cheaper in the long run.

I was gonna go cheap as all hell and buy some ultra-power branded coil packs off rockauto

Come on bro at least go with the $39 Denso's if you're going RA!
Sheesh, I wish they where $39/ a coil. The Camry is more of a beater car. Hence why I don't want to go crazy with parts.Come on bro at least go with the $39 Denso's if you're going RA!
I'm trying to figure out how the hell I can get the CEL to pop back on so I can see if the coil pack for cylinder one is bad or not.
a different guess, at high speed, you were getting fuel starvation. At lower speed, it resumed better running.
So I guess, a weak fuel pump or a clogging fuel filter.

Is any part of the boot on those removeable? If so take it off and inspect it. I had one recently that had an intermittant misfire - so small wouldn't set a code or even pending code but it hit the misfire counter. Turned out to be a hairline crack in the plastic part of the boot. Also was shortly after changed plugs.
Nope
Does your scan tool have the ability to give live data? Most that do can monitor misfires in realtime and provide counters. Not sure what the threshold is for a Toyota, but for VWs it takes many misfires cumulatively to trigger a CEL.
I believe so, let me check
Thats happened to me in many instances with coilpacks. Can't see the cracks, but they were "leaky" and triggered misfire counter.
I have the car listed for sale also. Don't really want to sell the car with an issue

I'm thinking the OP was asking about our vehicle or vehicle breakdown experiences.
Losing his 10mm WAS his prior wildest experience.

I've got live data on the scan tool
Looks like a winner (loser) to me. Replace and hope for the best—it’s always possible that you caused that during removal/installation during debug.
Replace with Denso or OEM Toyota coil pack.
That little "ding" can cause a misfire? That's wild
That’s a crack near the high voltage area. Which is surrounded by all sorts of well-grounded metal (the spark plug tube). Under high throttle, the voltage required to jump the spark gap goes quite high. Under low load, less voltage is required, thus you could have a situation where it runs fine around town, misses on hills on the highway.
Once it starts arcing, it can carbon track and make future arcs easier.
You might be right. When I was driving, my brother-in-law jokingly said "floor the car" I floored it a little and the RPMs rose from 3000~ up to like 4500~ and that's when the whole car started to shake and the CEL came on.
The car started slowing down on its own. Hence why I thought the trans went out.
