Is this a misfire on #2?

DEnso should be fine. But the coils fail with some regularity above 150k for sure. In last 250k I've probably had 6 actually fail with driveability issue.

First I've heard of a Denso COP coils failing since they came into to the picture, -manufacturing Motorcraft COP system coils for Ford. They are Ford spec coils w/proper thermal protection and dual build magnets.

If it's not something to do with the coils, boots or plugs themselves, make sure the ignition harness hasn't come into contact with the AC accumulator. That can create magnetic disturbance causing ignition havoc.

Thank you! I’ll check that also.

just out of curiosity, could a battery that’s going bad be the culprit? It used to sit at around 12.4 overnight, but since I moved from Phoenix to Cheyenne it now sinks down to 11.8.

ok, it feels like it’s running good but now I’ve got these showing up. Will it just take a while for them to clear out?



edit: I drove it and the red entries went away but now it just says test failed.

Here is what the top of the plug looked like:
