Why are you replacing the coil packs? Do you have a misfire code for all of them? Or, replacing aftermarket ones?

Last time I checked, the list price per coil was about $95. The plugs are about $12-$15.
I would only replace the affected coil, unless all the coils are aftermarket ones.

The OEM plugs for the EcoBoosts from Ford are NOT good. They have actually gotten worse with the current generation.
NGK 95605 plugs are definitely what most that know the Ecoboosts are recommending. Do a search on here. There are many threads about plugs.

OEM in this case is NOT the way to go.

Thanks Loki, your timing is perfect. With 159K on my truck and the most recent plug change used 2nd tier plugs due to backorders, I needed new plugs....and here you are!
Thanks again Brother, hope all is well!

If you're feeling cheap, check your plug gaps. They open up over time and regapping might resolve your issue.. My boots disintegrated, so be prepared to replace those as well.
This 100%. If you do go with OEM, check them out of the box, because the gaps will be all over the place. Actually you should check any plug before you install it. Gap is VERY important on modern motors.
Anytime Jeff! Glad to help.

Here is the Coil Pack through Tasca Parts - big Ford Dealer so you don't need to be concerned about counterfeit parts. They also sell other OEM brands. I just bought some coil packs for my C6-Z06 Corvette, local dealer wanted $149, bought from them for $85.
