The plug was so loose, i unscrewed it completely by hand. Cylinder 7 was almost the same way, and then cylinder 8, i had to get the 1/2" ratchet out to break it loose. So after a month or so of chasing a misfire, all it was a couple of loose spark plugs. In the end, new COPs, and new plugs, and most importantly, she is running like new again (finally)!!!
just a quicke reminder, i have heard of the 4.6's spilting plugs, form not being torqued correctly i know its a 5.4 havent heard nothing but still, or you could be doing this again.

He has an 07, spitting plugs was a 97 to 03 problem. Don't know why his plugs would have been loose unless they were not tightened very well to start with.The 04 to 08
yrs. you had trouble getting them out.
