Lightbulb 99SD 5.4 Engine Probs

Help, I'm new at this do please bear with me...I have a 99sd w/137k on

have any check engine light on, & really baffled at what it could be, any
help, suggestions, recommendation or just thoughts on the problem would

Sounds like plugs or coils. The coils are on top of the plugs. You'll have to do an inspection of both checking for cracked boots etc..

I had a 5.4 in an expedition and presently in my 99SD. Both have had the similar problem and everytime it's been a coil pack. The problem is that the only way to find the issue is by putting on a computer. I tried other ways without success. New coils with labor tend to get costly. I haven't yet but other guys have posted that they have used "used" (from junk yards) coil packs!!! I don't know if I would try it or not!!
