The cylinders are numbered as on the spark pack you changed. You might have done better putting the seafoam in the tank as an injector cleaner. Not sure why you changed so many parts, you seem to know how to get the codes from test connector lead hookup and the blink pattern. You might also want to check the fuel rail pressure and the crank and cam angle sensors. Before replacing the injector, swap the #4 injector with the adjacent one and see it the code moves with the injector or stays put. If the code stays on #4, then check the injector wiring, if it moves clean or replace the injector.

After changing the coil pack and spark plug, why is it still skipping?

Timing could have jumped. Could be a bad head gasket also. even possible to be a small hole in piston check the cylinder for compression. Check the fuel injector to that cylinder if you have bad air to gas mixture it will throw a code of misfire change fuel filter check fuel injector to see if clogged. most likely it is the fuel injector .

2007 ford edge engine missing they say coil pack and cost could be $1700.00. Is this possible?

it depends on how many coils are bad. pep boys auto parts lists them @ $301.99 each, for your vehicle, there will be a bit of a markup on the cost of the part, that is normal.
then there is the labor, job should take between 1/2 to 1 1/2 hours x labor per hour.
when I had mine replaced only the ones that needed to be replaced were done.
I took this from another site:
An ignition coil is a compact electrical transformer that boosts the 12-volt current from the battery into the high voltage (15,000-20,000 volts or more) needed to start a car. Typically there is one ignition coil for each spark plug, either sitting on top of each spark plug (eliminating the need for spark plug wires) or physically connected together as a coil pack that is installed and replaced as a single unit. Symptoms of a bad coil pack include misfires, poor fuel consumption or loss of power -- although these can be caused by other factors. Typical costs:
  • An ignition coil typically costs $70-$375 or more depending on the make and model of vehicle, if it is a single coil or a coil pack, and whether the part is made by the vehicle manufacturer (called OEM parts, and typically more expensive) or an aftermarket product from a company other than the vehicle manufacturer.
  • For example, AutoZone[1] offers an aftermarket ignition coil for a 2008 Ford Focus for $103; FordParts.com[2] offers ignition coils for the same vehicle for $72-$159. Replacing an ignition coil can be a relatively straightforward do-it-yourself project. AutoMD provides how-to instructions[3] , and estimates it as a moderately complex project that takes about an hour.
  • Professional installation typically takes 0.5-1.5 hours, depending on the vehicle, at $50-$120 an hour (depending on whether the work is done at an independent or chain repair shop, or at a dealership, which is typically more expensive). This brings total costs to $100-$550 or more.
  • For example, RepairPal.com[4] estimates replacing a single ignition coil on a 2008 Ford Focus costs about $37-$49 for labor and $123-$144 for parts, making a total cost of about $160-$193; for a 2008 Dodge Ram 1500 truck the estimate is about $102-$135 for labor and $74-$120 parts, or $176-$255 total; for a 2008 Toyota Camry it's $74-$98 labor and $102-$210 parts, with a total of $176-$308.

I have a 94 ford ranger, 4 cylinder 8 spark plugs, 150 thousand on it, the vehicle has ran flawlessly until a week ago, the first sign was driving down the road it started skipping and had a huge loss of...

Two plugs per cylinder? Just wondering why it has twice as many plugs as it does cylinders.

Anywho; have you tried fresh wires, or at least swapping them around?

The escape is running rough. My buddy checked the code and said it was a misfire on cylinder #1. We reset the code and it ran fine for a week. Now the problem is back

Not sure what year you have but you may have a bad plug wire, bad plug, or coil pack for that cylinder. A plug is cheap and easy to try. I think you can buy single wires from a ford dealer also to try and then you are getting down to the coil pack. You really need to have a scanner to help you with this and not just a code reader.

Ford Edge accelerates slowly and will not go over 60 mph. The trouble code is 303. which says Cylinder 3 misfire.

If you have a misfire on one plug, then you need to replace the plug as it is most likely fouled. This is caused by normal wear. Replace all the plugs, and wires.

If this is equipped with a distributor, replace the cap and rotor as well.

If not, it will have coil pack(s). The packs you can have tested; replace any that are deemed inopporable or faulty.

This should solve this issue; replace plugs and wires to start as it's cheaper, and if the problem persists, then have the cap, rotor replaced (if equipped) - if still present, then move on to the pack(s) if equipped.

Please let me know if you need further assistance.
