Hello all again,

So A few months back my van started to misfire we got it fixed and that was that. So today I was driving and for a bit it misfired again. I checked the codes and it was the same cylinder (cylinder 5, v8). Bruh. It was the coil pack last time, so will it be the same this time?

Thank you all,
Rex

How many miles on the vehicle?
Roughtly what part of the country are you located? (This is a temperature question)
Which engine?

Miles: 127,435.7
Michigan its 45 right now temps go up and down
5.4l
PO305? dont have my code reader in front of me

It misfired for about 10 seconds on the highway. Real violent, flashing Check engine light. But then stopped. I drove it home somewhat stupid but it was only like 3-4 miles.
When I got home it had stopped misfiring I fired it back up about half hour later missing again. I already got a new coil pack and installed it. Running good know but who knows? Maybe I was too swift. OOPS

That was longer than I expected, oh well.

Not sure I understand your post above.

Is vehicle currently running poorly after the "coil pack" was installed?

No its running fine now. I was just saying maybe I was too fast to post. Since I had not tried what I might thought be the solution. Since this was the problem last time. I just hope this doesn't come back in another few months these coil packs are not cheap. Or worse the spark plug goes.
