Missfire 6 & 8 and Fuel Rail 2 lean

I have a 5.4l 3v that just started missing at low rpms. At higher rpms I have not ntoiced it missing yet. I am getting the following codes....Missfire 6 & 8 and Fuel Rail 2 lean. The engine only has 75,000 miles, but the intake has 180,000 miles (2nd engine in truck....i reused the intake). I replaced the coils on 6 and 8 with no improvement. Any suggestions?

Could the PCV valve heater cause this problem?

Thanks

Start by getting new coil on plugs....cheapest is on ebay...global or uneek.....get a set for the v10 then you'll have a couple of spares....but if you need them right away then goto the dealer or autoparts store and they're going to hose ya......
