1999 Ford Crown Victoria 4.6L Misfire, MIL Lamp on VIN: 2FAFP73W9X
yes I guess that the car is fixed. I put 2 new coils on and drove it for 50 miles with no problem. However the owner has at times driven it more than that without a problem but I could not find anything else to try. I'll keep my fingers crossed. Trouble codes: 354 (ign. coil pri. or sec fault), 356 (ign. coil pri or sec. fault).
