well quite some time i've been experiencing the dreaded "misfire" like most of us have @ one time or another. so i'm thinking of replacing all of my coil packs along w/ the plugs, what do my fellow forum members recommend? i don't need to go high end or performance as in all honestly she may be gone before year's end.

I replaced all my plugs, coils and fuel injectors last year.
The $60 injector set and a $65 coil set they all came from ebay and the ASP platinum plugs from NAPA.

I did not trust the new coils so I replaced the dreaded passenger rear coil with a 1 month old NAPA IC369SB coil I had purchased earlier just in case.

The injectors / coils and plugs worked great no issues, truck ran like a dream. I had kept my 4 used Motorcraft coils and a couple of new used NAPA coils as backup just in case.

So after about 3 months very light driving I got a hard miss, I had found that one of the new coils was bad, so ok replace out new with old spare and everything was fine.

BUT, after 6 months very light driving I got a stutter or slight miss at 750 to 1000 RPM at idle. You could slowly raise the RPM and the engine would act like it was struggling, as long as you got past 1000 ran like a champ.

Long story short I put my 4 FORD COILS back along with 4 NAPA IC369SB coils staggered and she runs fine again no low RPM stutter.

You get what you pay for.

Well said but no matter what you pay you can always get a defective part

yeah originally noticed the misfiring in my truck a little after a month after purchasing the truck, so i have my wires & plugs changed, no problem. well a little over a year it has come back, so i'm assuming this time it could be the coil packs. so let me get this straight, are the coil packs & injectors 2 different parts?
