Thank you for taking a look at my question. I have a 2002 F-150 that has been giving me a lot of grief lately. My latest issue happened as I was driving normally one day. The engine started to misfire, ran very poorly, and the service engine soon light started blinking. My friend has a code reader and it came up with a P0308 code which, after looking up, I found is the 8th cylinder misfire. My question is what can be done to remedy this. As is the case with most people these days, I cant afford to replace stuff to find that it doesn't fix the problem. If there are any common problems with this, and preferably easy fix, that would be superb. Thanks in advance for any help.
