Boy, you never know where misfires will take you. There sure can be a lot of reasons for them. This Executive Lincoln has a few repairs still not edited. There will be more. :) Lincoln Executives are an odd naming of a very similar car the Lincoln Continental. Continentals were more common and when it's with the V8 this is a fix that'll come up now and again for this and many other V8 Ford Sedans for that matter. Same engine after all.
Okay, so say a coil went out, what if there's still a condition that'll cause the misfire to happen again even after the new coil is replaced? Checkout the video to find out.
Safety:
When working with coolant, be sure to not open a hot open system. Lost the use of my right hand for at least a weak once. I kept thinking no, don't you dare open that and my boss kept saying open it. Well, for letting a boss override reason and safety I got burns all up my arm and lost nearly all the skin on my middle finger. His story on it was different. He told me to let the pressure off and half unhook it, but the coolant system had got too hot it was too late and as I wanted to jerk away the cap "fell off". More like it shot away like a cannon. Try being an automotive technician with one hand, not your primary one, having the other arm as only a club. Really didn't make good money one handed for 2 weeks and a 3rd week I was still slowed down.

The biggest fight was the coolant leak, but with evidenced based diagnosis we can find the truth behind the leak. In fact, the coil on plug or COP may have never been bad! While changing it out the symptoms may have just gotten better as it dried things up for a moment.
