It was a catch 22 for him...
If I remember well, the shop are friends with his family up there.
So you know how that goes...

It also sounds like you may not be running on all 8 cylinders.

Even though you checked the coil pack it still can be the problem. Mine went bad and made the car run like crap...It had a rough idle and sputtered and shook real bad when trying to drive it. Sometimes it would kick in and let the engine run normally, then it would just shut down some cyclinders again. Heat and vibration can cook one of those electric coil packs. In my case someting internally loosened up and made the pack short out.

ok im 99% postive that its a coil pack. i ran her then disconnected 1 coil pack at a time. if looking at the front of the car its the first one on the left. she was running fine for about 5 min after i started her up then started to miss. im gunna give ford a call soon and see if i can just get a coil pack instead of me having to bring her in for a whole day.
