Do you have a MIL Lamp lite on your dash?
(check light --- wrench, etc)

If you do, get the codes & give them to us

Could be a coil issue,not a spark plug

You change spark plugs at 60,000 miles or
every 3 years

Change front O2 Sensors at 100,000 miles
(ones closest to the engine)

Clean MAF Sensor once or twice a year

EGR Valves are a problem on ford products
Does it mis going up hill?

Does it only run rough when hot & driven 20 miles or more?
Then misfire issue possible

Coil packs not firing on 2000 s type 3.0 jaguar

The coils have battery voltage running through the primary windings, and grounded in the ignition control module. The engine computer signals the ignition module when to cut the primary current, thereby inducing high voltage in the coil's secondary windings and spark at the spark plug.
The computer processes all sensor information, but primarily from the crank position sensor, to determine spark timing.

2003 TRACTOR 4X4 WAGON IS MIS FIRING ON CYLINDER TWO

Try to see if you can get view the are where the plugs are firing in the dark. Check for arcing off the plug or wires to the metal engine parts. I fought with a vehicle for days trying to determine a misfire problem on a car that we just put new plugs, wires, and coils on. Turns out the ceramic insulator on one of the BRAND NEW plugs had a hairline crack down the length of the insulator. You could not see if with the naked eye, but you could feel it if you ran your finger over it. Easiest to find if you can run the engine in a dark garage.

Code reader says 5cylinder mis fire changed plug changed coil pack still reading mis firwe 2002 envoy 4.2 liter

There can be other reasons for misfires beside spark plugs/coil, such as a bad injector, low compression in that cylinder, burnt valve seats.

Replaced the MAF sensor - nothing. Took it to a authorized toyota shop & checked compression which check out good and put the computer on. Computer read mis-fire on cylinder 1, and then multiple misfire (like it would jump around). We went ahead and replaced the fuel injector on cylnder 1 - did not solve problem as when we hook the computer up, misfire seemed tp stay at idle and seem better when running high RMP, but check engine light is on as it never went away. Went ahead and replaced the coil pack to cylinder 1 - nothing. what am i missing?

Ingnition coil b code is on how to change the coil

Do you have coil over each plug or is it a coil pack for all plugs. If each plugs has a coil, they have small screws to remove, pull the plug wire out after this. But if the coil pack, label each plug wire to keep them in order. the pack can be removed easily. It should have 4 screw, once those are out the coil pack will come off. Make sure after replacing it, you use di-electric grease on the bottom of the pack or in the coil over plug method. This keeps run-away spark and can cause mis-fire.
