Ford E-150 Problem

The Check Engine Light may illuminate, the engine may run rough and have misfires on acceleration. Commonly the ignition coils and/or the ignition coil boots are the cause of this problem. The rubber boot that insulates the coil to the spark plug can dry and crack allowing arcing. Inspect the coils and boots, and replace them as needed. Our technicians also recommend replacing the coil boots any time the spark plugs are replaced.

the motor started missing lightly at first and real bad later. after scanning it was found to have a bad coil #7 cylinder i believe. I replaced the coil and problem was solved,but only for about three weeks, and it started all over again. I replaced the coil again and problem solved for about three weeks again. This missing is usually bad with acceleration. can the coil boot be the problem,and if so why does it not miss for about three weeks.

Engine stumbles going uphill at times, hesitates at other times on flat road. Hesitates on acceleration from stop. Got "#5 cylinder misfiring" diagnostic message. Ran great for 2 days, then same problems.

replaced only select coils. Vehicle is doing better but still running rough when it goes uphill or putting a load on it.
