New Shoes......
OK,, after many years of trouble free service.. I'm under the hood again.
first,, blew spark plug in #3,, dealer fixed that... ($$$$ ouch)
then I replaced all the ball joints... ( PITA )
also tried to clean up the auto hubs, but at least cleaned and replaced the vaucmn hoses there..
all this within a few weeks,, so after less than 100 miles the truck spits out code P0308 and P0353 on #8,, according to autozone.. I get a BWD coil and new plug (motorcraft) from orielly as mentioned on this site,, and replace it..
Plug I pulled was very dirty..
Ran good for 30-60 miles MIL on again... same codes. swapped coil with new BWD again from orielly, pulled plug, looked good.. everything was on fine..
Ran great for 200 miles,, well this morning again same code!
NOW WHAT?
Any ideas? I cannot believe its another coil, and why only #8? so what I'm told by autozone when the pulled the codes...
