You could have an injector problem with the #6 hole, but when this usually happens, it's in the valves. Good luck.

I'll look at it when it warms up. Temperatures in the teens with no garage.

Update: pulled all plugs and injectors. All plugs looked fine. Injectors checked out with voltage meter. Coil also checked out with the voltage meter.

Exactly. All that tell you is that the coil isn't complete dead. It won't show you a shorted coil which causes low grade misfires @ certain engine loads. An android phone will tho

But he has packs and Autolite plugs. Autolite plugs often can't handle the heat range of the V8 modulars. I'd NEVER run AL's specially 103's and 104's, they are junk! AND can/have caused multiple misfires, -even new.

My engine light flashed when it was my Coil... I replaced all 8 and sparks as well just because my truck has 140k and they were all original.

Sooo..Did you use Autolite plugs or not?

And your CEL flashes because of a misfire, not a coil pack in particular. There could be a number of reasons.
