X2 on plugs and cop's. Our computers aren't "smart" enough to throw a code when they start to fail. Many transmissions have been needlessly rebuilt/replaced when the problem is a $30 coil.

Agreed 100% Mine was worn out spark plugs causing the exact same issue you have.

Sure sounds like a bad plug or cop. My 5.4 did the same thing.
