5.4 intermittent coil issue
I just bought a 2005 F150 with a 5.4. It started with a rough idle, then the check engine light came on. The code scanner said misfire #3 cylinder. Replaced the coil, ran fine for ten miles , same problem same code. Put spark plug in old coil no spark, swapped with new coil, no spark, tried old coil again, spark. Truck ran good for about 5miles started with rough idle again. Seems like it fires and misfires whenever it wants too. Looking for ideas? Oh yeah truck has 115k on it!

With engine running jostle each COP's connector, looking for frayed wires etc. the misfire should come and go as you manipulate the wiring---might be very easily seen at that point.
Oddly enough though that #3 plug even on my E250 with 5.4 has been problematic on two different vehicles so far---curious this is!

Different engine, but same principal. See if this helps: https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/1...il-wiring.html
