BigJ, it probably does but I'm not sure if has one for each cylinder or not. Some vehicles from the 90's had 2, one for each side.

Don't think so Big J,I think ford started using the packs midway in the 99 season.
That seems to be the biggest achilles heel on a 2000 and up ford pickup,but I would look into that overdrive switch to.Could be something as little as a fuse.
I would bet you only have one bad coil pack,which is a 10 minute job if you know where it is.Have them tested or test them yourself.Pull your Neg. Battery cable....................................Put your voltage meter on Ohms,
Use an ohmmeter to measure the primary resistance on the coil pack. Set the ohmmeter to 10 ohms. Place one lead on the center prong of the coil pack's electrical connector and the other lead on each of the spark plug terminals. The ohmmeter should read below 2 ohms. If the readings are above 2 ohms, have the coil pack replaced.
4
Measure the secondary resistance on the coil pack. Set the ohmmeter to 20,000 ohms. Place both leads on each spark plug terminal. The ohmmeter should read between 6,000 to 30,000 ohms. If the readings are above 30,000 ohms or below 6,000 ohms, replace the coil pack.
5
Reinstall the coil pack into the engine bay and reconnect all the electrical connectors. Plug the spark plug wires into the coil pack in the correct order. Reconnect the negative battery cable
Hope this helps..clean that EGR valve.

My daughter's Ford truck did that. Ended up being a plug wire that was broken. Drove me crazy before my brother finally found it. Was fixing to replace the coil pack when he found it. It's the 4.6 motor?

That's what her motor is... the 4.6. It ran so bad under a load. Sitting still it would rev up fine but going down the road it jumped. Heck, I still could get it up to 80 with the bad plug wire. I looked at all kinds of stuff and tried all kinds of stuff before he found the bad plug wire.

you are on the right track. I got a 1999 model and have had two coil packs replaced. Good luck.
