my truck was running fine. pulled away from a stop light and all of a sudden a loud noise from under the hood and my truck started running very rough...took it to a repair shop and was told that a spark plug had been ejected from the head taking out an ignition coil with it.it cost me approximately 2700.00 to get repaired. ford would not pay for the repairs.i was told that it was my problem.
