Hi everybody, my brother-in-law has a 99-01 mustang not sure which, and it was having trouble idling. Hooked a code reader up to it and it said there was a misfire in cylinder 8, I'm new to 'stangs so sorry for soundin like a noob but which one is cylinder 8? I couldn't see anything on the block say which is which. Thanks for any help, pics are awsome I'm very visual person.

Thank you everybody for the speedy responses. I'll check it out today and let you know, my brother-in-law bought the car with 13k on it and he's never changed a plug so I think its just that and not the coil but thanks for the tip.

did he just happen to spray the motor down with water to wash it. I have done that before on mine and I always blow a coil..If he did and does it again just cover the coils with little ziplock bags and try to not hit those coils with water...

Are ignitions on mustangs waste spark ignitions? I'm a few states away from my car so I can't go out and look and I can't remember? If is waste spark ignition the companion cylinder for cylinder 8 would also be misfiring.
