When your check engine light comes on have it diagnosed and it will tell you which celinder is misfiring and you reolace tha coil.I would say ignition coils. I have a 1999 Licoln TC and must replace all 8 due to misfires as vehicle approches 100K miles. Remember also if you change your coils install new spark plugs!
