2002 explorer XLT
So i have a 2002 explorer 4.6 xlt had a misfire code, and currently has p1131 and p1151pending, has intermitted rough idle. I went to check it and noticed that the cylinder 8 coil was loose. I pressed it down, and tightened it up, and now its worse. And suggestions? Should i just change the coil? The plugs? I already cleaned the MAF sensor, gonna do the AIC when i get home from work
 






Sometimes the metal insert (in the intake) that the coil is screwed into, breaks loose. Jb weld or new intake in those cases. May not be your issue.
 






Well the bolt was loose, i tightened it up. And it started to idle weird
