The hole in the head where the spark plug sits is very deep - and if water got in there, which is very common, it'll misfire. Lots of dirt gets in there too... on my '01 V10 with only 20K miles on it, I had two holes with quite a lot of dirt in them, and one was actually wet.

So that's what you meant by wet hole haha. I'll be picking up a NAPA coil this week and doing what I read in another thread, which is start with the passenger side rearmost coil and replace it, then see if the vibe is gone. If not, use the old coil from that cylinder, and replace the next cylinder's coil with it and test drive. Repeat until the vibe is gone.

enduro if you're going that far, just pull all the COPs right away and see if they are wet and/or dirty. You might be surprised 
There's a TSB from Ford on diagnosing bad COPs. In it they say that around half (50%) of "bad COPs" aren't really bad, just wet or the boot broke down.

Our new Ford COP’s, the Sultans of Spark(S.O.S.), have
been designed with both durability and performance in mind.
Please see them at:

Quality was the main feature we stressed when we went to the
drawing board on these coils.

And at $45 a coil it's cheaper than the OE replacements from NAPA which quoted me $59.
Although I am on somewhat of a time restriction to fix this (College student, going home tomorrow for 4 days, all tools and such are at home), do you have any distributors such as NAPA, Autozone, DriverFX? This way I could get it next-day and install while I'm home.
