COPs are Ford motorcraft from the dealership what test can rule out a fuel issue before going to a new PCM

Tests you mean: Power (electrical) , Delivery: FP relay, FP pressure, Filter, Regulator, Reg under load, Injector probe, Injector signal (noid), Plugged or leaking injector, sender. There's many but monitoring pressure, and under load is basic, usually checked first and ruled out. Injectors on a misfiring cylinder can be tested or just swapped with another (known good firing cylinder) to test for those who don't have the diag equipment.

You can check coil signal with a noid or light same as you would an injector. Coil signals are somewhat the same as injector signal, coils just do it at a lower voltage. ...So the test light or noid will be dim vs bright, but like I said, -sigs the same.

These Lisle Noid Lights are pretty bad ****. It's very universal, and only 25 bucks.

As Eric O. of South Main Auto would say.... there's no replacement for a scope on a rope.

I agree with JBrew on this one. PCM signal or ground for the PCM is bad, IMO. To get a whole bank to shut down can only be control related. If one bank shuts down, then so would the opposite bank if it was fuel related.
