Misfire in my 97' 4.2L
Engine light was on for a while. Diagnostic tool showed a misfire in the cylinder 2. ive had the truck for about 20-25k miles and have never done a tune up. My plan was to do the coil, plugs and wires. Is that all i should do? When i looked up what i need for a coil...a large 6 holed "ignition coil" keeps coming up. I thought i would just need one single coil for the cylinder. Can someone confirm the exact part i might need. Thanks for any help.
*mistype in subject...the truck is a 98*

Been having the same problem. 4.2 had a small mis when I bought it, but has been getting worse lately I changed out the plugs and disconnected the battery to reset the CEL light, but it came back on. Ran the code and came up with a "Gross Fuel Leak" just ordered a new gas cap to see if that is the problem, but no Misfire code. Going to order wires and coil to hope to god that fixes the problem.
