try swapping COP's and see if the misfire follows the coil. our coils are known to have issues

all the coils will interchange. just swap the #7 and #8 coils and see if the misfire goes to cyl #7. if so just get a new coil

you can reset the light by disconnecting the battery or with a hand held scanner

They are saying swap the COP to another cyl to see if the missfire moves from #8 cyl to whatever cyl you move the COP to.

Correct. Then you know the Coil on Plug (COP) is not functioning correctly. Then you can purchase a new one and reset the code and you know your misfire issue is fixed!

Good Luck!

ok, im so confused I have a 98 mustang gt, it has 2 coils with four outputs... so your saying to swap them, ok i understand that, but the last fewposts state to swap #7 and #8.. at the coils? that doesnt make sence as it will missfire.. and run worse than now... correct me if im wrong.. I understand newer stangs have individ coils for each plug.. but mine does not!! at least i think ....LOL

Even easier, I didn't notice the plug wires in the pictures!!!

Basically change your 7 and 8 plug wires. If the misfire follows the number 8 plug wire to cylinder 7. Then if it does, then you can easily replace your wires and misfire solved.

Good Luck!

I think they're saying after you switch the coils, check the code again to see if it tells you #7 instead of #8. Then you'll know that that is the problem.
