coil pack swap
Is swapping out the two coil packs on my 97 4.6 as simple as it looks leaning over the fender? If so, I'm willing to gamble less than $100. to Global and see if it cures my light miss under hard acceleration. Ford just tuned it up because, for some reason, it loves to be tuned up at 30 to 60K intervals...even with Motorcraft platinum plugs but I digress. Opinions, ideas? O2 sensors are still oem... maybe front ones?

if you really want to do it right you should do what i did and get that kit that jegs sells a kit for the 4.6 and it comes with 2 MSD blaster coil packs, 8 MSD 8.5mm super conductor wires, and 8 NGK spark plugs. The kits says its for a Mustang GT but i asked around and found out that it fits, and it does because i put it in my truck. The kit runs for $281 but it is well worth it. i had the same problem. i had a cylinder 4 and 5 missfire and it fixed it right up. its your call but i would highly suggest it. Its a top quality upgrade, and it comes with cool stickers too.
