[QUOTE="zukkev, post: 1480747, member: 17121"] I can't tell you HOW many of these Triton series engines I have tuned over the yrs, and I agree with NOT using Autolites, BUT I have used NGK's for MANY yrs with absolutely 0 issues on every one I have done using NGK's...you can't go wrong with motorcraft as that's what we use at my current place of employment, but to say only use MC I disagree... And to add, the coilpacks are a high failure item, HOWEVER--there could be an underlying cause for the #5 to flag a misfire...pull the coilpack off of #5 (it's the one under the power steering resivoir support bracket); if the end of the coil is wet and smells like rotten coolant, you either have a leaking intake gasket or thermostat housing seal---it'll be real obvious once the coilpack is removed. The #3 misfire could just be parasitic loss from #5...Best way to tell would be using Mode06 TID53 for miss history (which one has the most misses stored in history), but unfortunately most of the early Triton OBDII Fords (96-98ish) had their misfire monitors reprogrammed to be nonexistent due to many issues with false misfire monitoring. I recently just did a 1998 5.4L expedition intake manifold gasket set and plugs/coils/boots as necessary to fix this very misfire concern...it had 245K on it...purrs like a kitten now...on NGK's...
