Question misfire at 2,100rpm ONLY?

you can see the mods in my sig. it's on an 06' 4.6, truck runs perfect, idles fine, pulls like a mother fkr, and cruises fine. but when the truck is in neutral or park, and i hold the engine at 2k-2100, i can watch the motor (hood open duh) get a mean shake to it, looks and SOUNDS like a good sized miss... but, no check engine light, no signs during actual driving... only other thing i can think of is mabey thats just the sweet spot for the ****ty factory engine balancing?

You have a bad coil.

the dealer would confirm it an identify witch one. Moto Blue suck. I installed them and one failes within 30 days. I would not use them again.

Pay the dealer $75 to diagnose it. Ask them to place the bad coil, if it has one in the #1 cylinder or just pay them to replace it with a motor craft one. Its easy to replace the #1 yourself and you can get a replacement cheap.

Yes it seems to run better. If they wont hold up it aint worth it though. I dont want to screw around with them They should last 75-100K. I'm sure I'll end up replacing them all before that..

Well guys use some common sense.
Any coil or part for that matter from any source can fail at anytime.
If Motorcrafts never failed, no one would ever have a problem with coils to have to replace, but that is not the case.
I bought 8 from another vendor and had 3 fail but I got replacements and still run them. No use to go into condemnation over some failures.
A lot of the parts you get today are made "off shore" so the quality is down but on shore parts fail also.
