You people don't know how to use the search function, do you? Why do people insist on using other people brains? It must be an Obama thing.


on new people not using search.

fyi you can buy all eight coils for $90

Default Problem Solved

Finally found the problem and fixed it!

Yes, you guys were right, it was the COPs. I was only hesitant because they are so damn pricey, and I'm not that wealthy... lol

Someone recomended just buying the boots for the COPs from autozone, which I wasn't aware of being sold separately. Each pack came with a rubber boot and new coil/spring for the grand total of $4.99. Today I switched them all out, drove out for a while with no immediate change, but after about 5 miles, the problem cleared up and the engine hasn't missed yet!

I'd like to thank EVERYONE that posted on this thread and helping me out! Honest to god, if I didn't get the help, I wouldn't have been able to fix my car... Thanks guys.

For anyone who stumbles across this thread with the same problem, check the coil packs, but DO NOT buy new ones immediately. Change out the boots first for about $5 each. And if you do need to buy new coil packs, don't get them from ford... Fleet auto supply sells them for about $34(motorcraft) maybe cheaper elsewhere.

Thanx for the input sexynerd, you're a really big help! couldn't have done it without you <3

Ebay didn't have any Motorcraft packs for cheap when I was originally looking, but I believe the individual boots would be the cheapest alternative anyway.

Personally I do not know much about the V6 engines. Someone here may be able to help you but you might have better luck posting in the V6 section or doing a search there. Good luck!
