With that many miles I would change them all.. The coils. The connectors in the coils get corroded. The bolt area cracks etc. Just did mine. like $220 from amazon only use motorcraft coils imo.

Correct plugs are good for 100k I would do 80k. get some new cops and leave the plugs for a while.

I have read several people saying that Denso was the supplier for the OEM COPs.

You will need to look at PENDING CODES to see the misfire. You practically have to have a dead cylinder before an error code is set, so pending codes are your best friend.

I'm having the same issue with my '99 5.4 2v with 65k on it. Pulling a 10k 5th wheel, it definitely gets annoying. I don't daily drive mine, but I'll try to remember to hook up my Blue Driver OBD II scanner to see what it says next time I drive it. It has mode 6 data, can scan all the systems (not just the CEL codes), and it a pretty good deal for $100, IMO.

I went out at lunch and tried an app on my laptop that pulled $53 codes, but the CID listed with them weren't cylinder numbers. I'm assuming I should see 1-A or 0-9.
I couldn't try the torque app on my phone since bluetooth isn't working, so I'll get a tablet when i get home and give the Torque app a try.

I downloaded the Forscan app for my computer, and it's showing misfire for cylinder 8. So I'll do some troubleshooting with coil/boot on that cylinder this weekend.
When I opened up the forscan app, I did have 3 trouble codes showing, but the check engine light is not on. P1000, P0316, and P0325. Should I be concerned about eh P0325 code or is also related to the misfire issue? Why would it show on this app, but not have a check engine light ? It also didn't show on the torque app (lite).
