Your description of the miss is dead on for a bad coil with shorted winding turns.

At this point, it's just better (integrity wise) to change all the coils out at the same time with good ones.

There's only two manufacturers on the market who make Ford spec coils for your engine. - That's Motorcraft and Visteon which are identical builds and thermal protection. So either or and you get at least another 100,000 out of them.

Your problem is other than a coil one..has to be, - unless you some how shorted the good ones out..something else was going on. I can't believe it's just that cut and dry as you say.

EDIT: I guess there is a possible way for that to happen. Radio interference or perhaps a magnetic interference. This type of malfunction could perhaps pic on the better made coils and leave the lesser, junk coils alone. Like I said, it's possible, since the they leave stuff out of the knock-offs. I never heard of that happening...yet.

It wasn't just 1 cylinder fouling out all these coils. I would replace all 8. Sometimes #2 would go, #8, and #1 were the ones that fouled over once. I'm happy with Accel coils, they have done me good (knocking on wood)

This is what I'm attempting to help you with, - but, you have to listen in order to grow wiser..so to say.

Were the Motorcraft coils paint marked, - were they truly Motorcraft Coils?

Have any pics, - I could tell yuh.

Yea, Accel sells great stuff. Unfortunately they purchase the same COP ignition coils from a barge overseas. Use them if you feel the need to take a chance with your dollars. But they are the normal single build magnet coils purchased from the very same merchant that MOST coils today come from sadly. Sometimes the die right away or shortly, but can last a couple years, - if your lucky. Anyway, they aren't half the coil that Visteon and Motrorcraft are and have been for many years. Look all this up if your in disbelief. I've been following this for many years...still do.

Right , your not lieing in all sense of the word, - you just don't know any better. I know enough to say, your passing bad info. If you don't care about some F150 site, you should at least care about misinforming people that are looking for help. At least have some dignity.

________________

Just to be clear for anyone who happens upon this thread, these are the coils to purchase, -

Motorcraft COP ignition coils, = Ford Spec. Always paint marked, - since there's so many that attempt to imitate.

Visteon COP ignition coils, = Ford Spec, = the same as Motorcraft but you get more value from you dollars at less than 1/2 the cost of Motorcraft.

WeaponX - These guys are fairly new, different builds. Rumored to be quality built..The verdict is still out, but there's been no complaints thus far.

If warranted, I can post up the differences of the real deals vrs others who attempt to weave their way into your pocket book.

By the way, Jbrew, this is just "some" F150 forum, because there's plenty more.
