more codes

Has anyone heard or ran into getting misfire codes on different cylinders after changing plugs and putting on a new coil. I was wondering, since after I replaced #4 coil, got misfire code #8, replaced that one have misfire #1. I have seen simiular results with a GM 6.2 glowplug, where 1 goes bad, others die slowly. I'm to the point of changing other 6 coils. It's on a 98 F150 4x4 5.4 auto w/168k. I talked to a dealer, and they said they have seen it before. Any ideas?

I had a local garage do it, I believe they are Autolite Platinum (he does alot of business with a local NAPA). Dealer said it may cause it and maybe should have used Motorcraft. Now truck is running good, got a another coil to put on #1 as I get a little "hiccup" now and then but no codes. Thanks for the reply!

The AutoLites should be fine.

Might be just time for your COPS to give out.

Yeah, they are all about the same age and it seems that when one goes, others often follow.

Replaced the #1 COP today, but wouldn't you know, it wasn't completed tightened down....Figured since I took it off and had new part, might as well replace it. Thanks to all for the help
