    F150 help

    well as i headed to the shop today my truck started to vibrate pretty good... it is coming from the engine as far as i can tell... it does it at a stand still also... i gave it a quick look over at the shop and proceded to ignore it... so on the drive home it starts shaking really damn bad... and now the service engine soon light came on... i have no idea what this could be... any ideas... i am gonna go check if it threw any soft codes... it might have since it turned the light on

    ok code read was cylinder 6 misfire
    so what i think it is is a coil... the 4.6 has a coil on each cylinder and they are like 85$ each... sucks balls so i am out a truck till i change it... glad i dont have any tests this week... i guess ill be changing it tomorrow... all my tools are at my shop and my truck is at my apartment... this may be interesting

    Maybe try spark plug first? Can you switch that coil with another? If problem follows coil then replace.

    truck runs gud now... i changed cylinder 6 coil and all the plugs and it runs way better than it has ever since i have owned it... almost all of the plugs were at .06 or more gap and my truck requires .052-.054 and they were all worn out really bad... and cylinder 6 was full of gas just as it should have been with a dead coil... all i gotta say is it took me 3 hours and it is gonna take me another to get all this grime off my body... i got to do some sweet ass doughnuts in my shop's lot though... good fun... nice and wet
