    HAs anybody asked whether or not the air box is sealed tight? Or the warm balmy conditions of the mid west of which he's driving in. With out knowing all of the conditions, you have to start with the simple stuff. Icing on the MAF wire because the moisture has gotten passed the filter?. I say get the codes first and start at a reasonable start point. What is obvious ain't always obvious.
    What if the "Hokey Pokey" is what it's really all about?

    Hey guys. thanks for the help! Turns out I had 4 bad coils and 2 bad boots. Replaced the 4 COP and the two boots and all 8 plugs. damn near $300. Coils aren't cheap. I had water in my heads. We had a really good snow strom here a couple weeks back. Must've gotten around 28 inches of snow. It was blowing horizontal as well. Anyway, on my way to work, I had to hit a road that hadn't been plowed. What I think happened was the snow from the drifts got up in there and melted when the engine was warm. This caused water and it seeped into the heads. I had to blow them out. After I got it together, I heard another couple misfires, but after running it for twenty minutes, it went away and i can't get it to misfire anymore. Thats a good thing though. 3.6.7.8 were all bad coils. New boots on 4 and 5. Runs like a Ford again...perfect!
    As you climb the ladder of success, remember one thing; all the smart people took the elevator.
