Recently bought a 2002 4.0. One of the first things I did was to replace the spark plugs, since I had no idea what condition they were. Did some searching, and got the Autolite XP5144. I had intended to wait and get the Motorcraft plug wires, but the wires that were on there did not want to come off easily, and I broke a few removing them. So I ended up getting what the local store had available, which appears to be the same rather cheap wires that were on the truck before.
Since doing this, I've had random misfires. Feels like mostly at idle. Truck accelerates fine when I give it throttle. No check engine light.
Any guidance on troubleshooting and fixing this?
