COP Code

This weekend I changed sparkplugs on my 99 F250 5.4L V8...hoping to cure it from misfiring.
I got them changed and it ran the same....if not a little worse.
This morning I had AZ hook it to a code reader and pulled up a bad COP on number 4.
I know that I moved the #4 COP to #1 plug this weekend, so my question is....is the bad COP #4 or is it #1 now???

You'll have to pull the codes again....you MIGHT have gotten a bad NEW plug!

Move both COPs to another plug (put #1 on #2 and #4 on #5 for example), have the codes cleared, and see what pops up next.

But like BP said, it isn't impossible to get a bad plug.
