Default running like crap!

I have a 99 F150 4.6 V8, it started to run pretty rough so i changed the plugs and wires and the truck ran great for about 5 days and then went right back to running like crap. i looked some more and found that #2 and #8 are not sparking. any suggestions?

Check your coil pack and what plugs did you put in? Avoid auto lite and Bosch plugs always run motocraft or NGK If you have to, is it losing mad power? Most likely your coils or a wire has come loose. Good luck

i searched a lot of threads before i posted and what I thought would help didn't, it had nothing to do with the plugs, wires, bad cylinders or the coil packs. it was corroded wires that power the coil packs. I did not see any threads that had that in it at all.
