Bad COP, no doughnut.
OK, so ive done some research on the forum over the last few days and have realized the popping/missing is from a bad COP. Presumably. There is no light on the dash. When 6 had oil come up around it and shorted it out i pulled a code. Now i pull none. I took the truck to Ford and had the complete tune-up. Im guessing cops arent replaced at that time.
This new missfire doesnt show a code so im guessing cop.
Have a couple quickies.
Where are they?
Cant i just use a timing light to find the miss?
Are they interchangeable? It would seem i could buy one new and try it in 4 and 8 first then run down the heads until she quits missing.
Thanks ahead.

Ok one page away, i see that 97's, dont have COPS?
Ok then, anyone have any clue why it would miss, not show a code?
Perhaps since i just had a tune-up i should take it back to Ford.

Considering I was told a "tune up" would run me around $1000, if it doesn't run GREAT you can be sure I'd take it back to the dealer. I have a '02 S'crew w/5.4L, so I guess that is why they said it would cost so much. It is going to have to be running pretty bad, before I pay that much though. Good luck!

Went back to the dealer. Plug wires were apparently not covered in the 60,000 mile tuneup that cost me dearly just a while back. Cost? Dont ask.
Yay!!!! Fixed. Runs better than when i bought her.
BUT......i got hit and run'd. Im a tad too close to the dramatic rearend remodeling i did to an old Chevy Celebrity , so i dare not file.
Im out some bed work, tailight, and a bumper. Tailight was $9.99 on ePay. Local connection got me a brand new bumper and all the bracing and brackets that were tanked for $361.
It never ends..........
