The big problem of throwing new parts at a problem instead of going through a logical diagnostic process is the exact original fault was never found. You fixed it but you don't know what was wrong and now you have to start again without knowing whether it is pure coincidence, a faulty part or some ongoing problem...

If you still have the original parts it isn't too late to inspect them and try and determine the original fault before checking for a repeat of the same fault on the vehicle.

Considering the fault seems to be a repeat of before it is likely spark plug related, perhaps fouling due to town running deposits, oiling or perhaps water ingress from a failing cylinder head gasket but only thorough and logical checking is likely to find the problem.

98 ford ranger supercab xlt 2.5 spark plug wiring diagram

I will read the SM service manual to you now.
firing order 1,3,4,2
most cars with old coil packs 4 cylinders is just one pack
not coils but yes 2 coils in 1 pack run 4 cylinders, using wasted spark tech.
oops this old dog run 8 spark plugs now that is different.
and here it is from the book
we do know 1 and 4 fire as one and 3 and 2 first as one pair too.
I sure hope the 2 coils fire, the same way.
no lag. coil 1 spark 1, to coil 2 spark 1. hummmmm
yes tricky see these sage words. from the SM

Dual Plug Inhibit (DPI) is a function of the powertrain control module that is used when the vehicle is being started. During engine cranking, the powertrain control module will only fire the spark plugs on the right-hand side of the engine.Whenthe engine has started, the powertrain control module will start normal twin-plug operation.

2002 kia optima has intermittent miss; usually upon first cranking, sometimes when stopped at redlights (misses so bad almost dies). About 9 months ago I replaced plugs and wires, I bought Iridium plugs...

I would replace all of the coil packs. If one goes bad the others are soon to follow. Also one weak one can kill the others. You may want to consider using non-OEM if the dealer wants $100 or more per coil. You can find non-OEM for maybe $30.

Truck not firing properly front coil pack not firing at all.

if this truck has an o2 sensor i would replace that and also make sure the cat-converter is not plugged,this would give you your powerloss and egr code,next is your coil,this may be caused by the computer or your crank sensor,look at the tone ring that the crank sensor uses and make sure its not missing teeth or broken,also check all your fuses.

99 Ranger- Consistant coil pack issues....

What is the engine size? Have you checked the ignition module? Check the output of the crank sensor at the ignition module to verify wiring integrity. The signal is shielded so insure there is no break in the insulation.
