My 2002 Lincoln Ls's engine light came on at the end on may, I had autozone do a free test on it and it read that it was misfiring on cylinders 3 and 4. I took it on and had a tune up and replaced 2 of the 8 coils (which was about $500 total). A month later it started doing the same thing, it shutters when I reach the speed of 40 mph and it idles like a semi. I have yet to take it in, I rarely drive it because of it. I got an estimate for another $500, just for the other 6 coils.
