Need Help!!!

[NukeMedic]

Heres the skinny: 02 LSE V8, felt like the coils were going out again so I order 8 off of ebay (per4mance parts) and also picked up 8 new spark plugs (bosch platinum +2). Switched everything out. Now the missing is gone, but the car is running really rough. Feels like it is running fat and bogging down. Check engine light came on. I don't have access to a computer scanner at this moment.

Feedback please! Thanks!

Not sure with out knowing CEL trouble codes are but some Lincoln LS do not operate well with Bosch plugs. As good as Bosch plugs are the LS engine was developed, tuned, and made to run on OEM plugs which are good plugs.

Something I learned years ago working in a full service gas station(5 bays, in 2 stores), with regards to the plugs, and coils. Just because it is new out of the box, does not mean it is good...
...Get the codes re-checked.

Thanks for the input guys. Going to have to get it checked out I guess. It is such a pain in the a** to pull all that crap out!

I've had bad experiences with Bosch plugs in other cars. I'll never use them again.

Well I plan on changing my plug once the weather breaks a little. But I plan on going to NGK iridium plugs. The are very expensive but I have hear that they are very good. Has anyone have experience with them

I dont think NGK's are expensive, well which ones did you get? First a bought bosch plugs and they were like 1-2 dollars each and I had to buy oem plugs after cause the guy at the dealer said the ls wouldn't work properly with aftermarket plugs. Motocraft cost me 11 dollars each! I was a little shocked.I bought some NGK's too, the dyno guy recommended them and I am going to put them on before going to the dyno. Many member use them.
