5.4L Rough Idle - EGR block off didn't fix

You must have a source for water to drip onto the plugs to cause that much rust. I suggest that you close the hood and spray a lot of water in the area of the cowl and hood and then check inside to see if there is a trail showing where the leak is. Then you can seal that area or find a way to divert the water away from the cops.

Yeah odd thing is we haven't had any rain for weeks now and everything looks fine hood wise...one would think it would have evaporated. Coolant level looks fine so I'm not worried it's coming from the other direction.
EDIT: There was a small puddle in the #6 surrounding the plug and the #3 coil came out wet. There's also about 1/2" of built up dirt surrounding each COP.

....and #7. I'm replacing the rest this morning but it seems as though my problems have been fluid and corrosion on top of the DPFE failing. There is no vacuum leaks..yet.
OH! One fun thing, when you pull the big vacuum hoses to work on the #6 or #7 (in my case), make sure you plug them back in before you test to see if everything is working. My reaction when the engine would just die was "great, what'd I screw up while fixing this thing!?!" then I saw I left them loose. HA!

If you have the vacuum lines crossed going from the exhaust manifold to the EGR sensor you will get some strange codes and the CEL will come on.
