Question Help coil e????

Just the other day my truck threw a CEL and my truck shakes and vibrates when accelerating! I took it to a guy I know that has a computer to run to see what the CEL is throwing for a code and he states its only saying "COIL "E". Now he wasnt 100% positive which one it was bc he always has known them to be numbered not lettered. I was cutious if anyone could help me out with pinpointing which one this would be whether its the left or right side if your looking at the engine and whether its the first second third or fourth one back. Any insight would be much appreciated!

Does it vibrate during park/neutral? If so it could be your ignition coil, do you have a pack, or cops?

See if you're getting spark from all cylinders first.

OK, I'll do the legwork.

Coil E looks like your are throwing code P0355 - Ignition Coil "E" Primary/Secondary Circuit

Coil E fires cylinder 5

Thanks! I found the problem. Looks like when I had the plugs done 2 years ago they must have caught the wire to the plug that goes into the coil bc they wires were exposed and cut. It must have finally let go. So I connected both ends of the wires and all is fixed! Thanks for all the help once again very much appreciated
