Hello,
I purchased a 97 expedition yesterday with the 5.4, 101300 miles. When I press the gas the truck begins to shake and sputter. It also used 1/4 tank of gas in 20 miles. Wife also said it was throwing sparks out the exaust. I know that the coils have a history of going bad. My inital thought is ignition issues either CoP or plugs. However with the excessive amount of fuel and throwing sparks out exaust kind of throw me for a loop. Anybody ever seen the sparks out the exaust due to a bad CoP?
