2000 xlt 5.4 V8 motor
Couple questions here:
This morning after this wonderful rain storm we've had my motor was running like crap. Felt like I was driving a tank down the road. Anyway long story short
Bought a computer and it says Cylinders 5+8 are misfiring. I read here:
http://www.f150online.com/forums/v8-engines/429189-removing-cops-plugs-driver-side-2.html
How to do it and the argument about removing the fuel line. Should I?
The cylinders on the driver side starting at the front are 5,6,7,8 correct? 8 being in the back near the firewall correct?
Secondly, do I change the spark plugs and the COP? Or just the COP? I read that these are the best

Is that all that I need or do I need some other part? I read somewhere that on that ebay link something shown didn't come with it. I hope that makes sense. I want to make sure I do this right the 1st time.
To take these out, these just pop right out or are they bolted in? Rookie question but I've never done this before. Any special tools needed? I don't have a torque wrench.
Thank you all for your help.
