Default broke down and on a hook

my 2006 f150 4.6 felt as tho she had a bad miss and had not much power. The exhaust smelled of sulfer. It ran great yesterday morning and when left work yesterday it started when I got on the highway. I had all the injectors replaced a couple weeks ago, not sure if it had anything to do with it or not. I had an oil change and a new pcv and air filter put on saturday. A couple days ago I had driven it home and made a stop and when I went out to start it It kinda felt like it had a back pressure and didnt want to crank. I hit the ingnition out of habit real quicik and it fired rite up. Does anybody have any clues what could be going on? Its setting at Metro Ford at the moment. Im waiting to hear what they have to say. There is no CEL NO CODES

just picked it up from FORD and it turned out to be a bad coil. We had really bad rain the other night with lots of wind and hard rain. Water was standing in the spark plug hole. I hadnt driven thru any big puddles so it must have blown in the engine compartment. Anyway that was the problem. It was #1 that was bad. With my rewards discount and my frequent customer discount it was only 126. I didnt think it was bad for parts, diagnostics, and labor

yes they have a PCV I ordered one from Orileys and it was the wrong connection. It screwed into the valve cover and the end with the hose connection was just a push on where the ford PCV snapped on with a quick release type connection. I ended up getting one from ford to make sure it was correct. It was a difference of 6.00 and 15.00 but it was well worth it to know it was correct. It had never been changed with 137k on it. Now itll be good as long as I have it
