You can still check for the miss even if it will not do it at idle. Just unplug the injector for each cylinder one at a time and drive the truck until you find one that doesn't make a change in the way the truck runs.

well, i'm gonna say it was a plug. they were autolite double plats btw

today i replaced all the new plugs with the old plugs. i cleaned them up and reinstalled...poof runs as smooth as glass! so you know what i'm gonna do? run the old plugs awhile longer haha maybe in 20-30k miles i'll try doing them over again with motorcraft.

sorry i was feaking out guys, its just been a stressful few weeks. this was the straw that broke the camels back.

Good to hear you got it fixed. I am due for a plug change on mine. I guess I will stick with either Motorcraft or regular Autolites.
