I changed the COPs and spark plugs on my 2005 GT. Never had a misfire mil prior to the new components. So far, the 5 and 8 cylinder have had codes (p0355,p0358). I swapped those COPs (5 and 8) to other cylinders to see if problem followed COP. The next misfire was on 5 again so not the COP. I have to suspect the plugs. I bought and installed Motorcraft sp547. Anyone else have issue with these plugs?

Did you use nickel antiseize? If so you may have accidentally contaminated the electrode.

You might consider swapping injectors around to see if problem follows.
