    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.
