Thank you so much for your guidance and support. I have purchase the replacement engine coil and the one spark plug. I have check out some Youtube tutorials in how to execute the job, but it seems a bit trickier. Don't want the spark plug to break inside the engine in the process. Again, thank you so much for all your help.

If you have the 4.6 engine, it has the standard one piece plug that is not prone to breaking. The 04-08 5.4 3-v have the two piece plug that is prone to break upon removing them.

Thanks JCR, I appreciate the info. It appears as mine is a 5.4L. Hope all goes well.

Some of the later 08 5.4 3v's had redesigned heads with a one piece plug, but not sure when the change was made. I heard if they had black coil boots it was two piece plugs, brown coil boots one piece, but I'd be cautious either way.
