I too just bought a used super crew and the day after I get it home I popped a mil code. My scanner showed a p0302 code so I told dealer to fix it since it was only the day after I bought it they said to bring it in. They replaced the # 2 coil and plug at no charge. I got it a 1/4 mile down the road and it started missing again. So I turned around and pulled it into the bay and told sevie adviser its still missing. He called the mechanic back and he came out pissed and said to the adviser I told them 2 weeks ago all the coils should have been changed. He brought truck into his bay and replaced the #5 I talked to him and he said he was pissed because they power wash the crap out of the engines and get water in the plug holes and foul all the coils. He wanted to replace all the coils but his manager said to replace only the ones giving codes. So I have 4 new coils and plugs. 1,2,4,5. Dealer said I was on my own now. So I bought 2 new motorcraft coils on e-bay the otherday for 40 bucks, hehe. Moral of this story. Dont power wash your engine.
