What about the fuel injector, or the wiring to the coil, are they good?

My experience is if you have a 5.4 motor, it is almost always the coil/ wire....... If it is a 4.6 motor, I have seen several injector problems that originally I thought were COPS misfires.

Did you use OE coil & wire? There are a number of reports of non-Ford parts failing prematurely.

Also too, if you didn't clean out the carbon from the spark plug threads and below, you may not have seated the plug as well as you thought and have carbon blowing past the plug. Did you get a ticking sound at the same time?
