I don’t know if I just have bad luck, or maybe I just drive like too much of an A hole. I have had 3 F150 3.5 eco boosts since 2012 (the 3rd being my 2019 Rap). Every one of them started idling a little rough around 30k - 40k miles.

Replacing the plugs always helped. Usually around that same time frame, I have a coil go bad as well…

On the Rap, replaced the plugs at 35k, smoothed things out a good bit. Just replaced the first coil at about 39k, and think I have another that will probably be throwing a check engine light within a few K miles. I might just replace all the dam coils in 1 go.

And I don’t even have a tune.

Full-race Geoff appears to have a good recommendation for plugs I will likely try next, post 3 in the link below.

Changed plugs and all is fine. Guess I just go through them quick. They were barely discolored.
