To further the equation...
Bad Coil+Bad coil+Bad plug+Bad plug+fuel burning in cat+Time = clogged cat
Right now you have to replace at least two coils and two spark plugs. If you wait too long, you will also have to replace one or two catalytic converters (if you aren't already at that point).
If you are smart, you will go ahead and replace all of the spark plugs and coils.
If you have a 2003, 2004, or 2005 and have less than 100K miles, then Ford will replace all failing coils and associated spark plugs at no charge.

It's the coils and possibly the Valve Cover Gaskets.. I can't remember if you have a V6 or 8..

Since you started the bs, you have started the threadjacking..

Im not at all interested in "threadjacking". In fact, I didnt know what it was until you got your title and I did the math.

Well I think you need to go to highschool if you didn't know what threadjacking is.. It's 2 words compounded.. Thread, which we are on, and jacking, talking about something that is not relevant to the thread's purpose..

I would get new coils and plugs.. Also when your in there, change the PCV.. I believe you can reuse the intake gasket..

Not if you dont have a misfire. That would be a waste of money.
