Default coil pack missing after sparkplugs changed

Ok guys I changed my spark plugs a few weeks ago. And ever since I have had a slight miss. Well I was gonna buy a programmer, because I've been lookin for one well I met up with the guy to buy it Well it was locked for another vehicle!! So i didnt buy. But it pulled a code and said p1000, no check engine light or anything. So anyways I looked up the code on the internet. And it said something about a coil pack. So my question is how do I tell which one is missing? I dont want to have to replace every single one.

The check engine code should tell you which plug it is. It will say: "misfire cylinder (x)" whichever one is missing. Did you gap all your plugs right and use some dielectric grease on em?

No dielectric grease and motorcraft platinum come already pre gapped. And I have a code reader like autozones.and I just hooked it up it isn't pulling up any codes.

You could try unplugging them one at a time with it running whichever one doesn't affect how its running is the bad one this sometimes works I tried this but I couldn't and ended up buying new ones all 8 for 180 I think on Ebay

P1000 has nothing to do with a misfire. It means you haven't completed the drive cycle.

Google "P1000" the first link brings you here: http://www.obd-codes.com/p1000

Btw - you said "well" three times in the same sentence (well...not a correct sentence but between periods).
