Was it a code or was it when you were running a contribution test?

it was originally a code that i received with a scanner and said # 2 missfire. engine light was on then.
now same symptoms.
when ford had it thats, all they would say is #2 misfire and #8 has issue? $300.00 for that without going deeper into motor.
so i took it home and will keep replacing other parts or find solid info from f.t.e/riffraff.etc. do appreciate all the help
