The trouble code P0308 is a misfire in #8 cylinder.

The most likely causes are damaged spark plug or coil, faulty fuel injector, disconnected or loose electrical plug/connector and faulty related wiring.

Less common causes are issues relating to sensors (such as O2 sensor), and computer issues, incorrect fuel pressure, EGR system concerns: leaking EGR valve or restricted ports, low compression, valve train problems and timing issues.
Hope this helps.

Why am I getting code # P 0308

I have your vehicle as a 97 Ford Expedition...Is this correct? Reason I ask is that Ford uses Coil-On-Plug and you said "I changed the wires"...Which would mean all eight coils were changed...P0308 is telling you the ECM is seeing a fault on cylinder #8...I would strongly suspect a bad coil for that cylinder...Question; Did you change all eight coils? If not change #8...saailer

Will a P0308 computer code on a 97 ford e350 7.3 psd turbo cause the engine not to start at all? i am at a still cranking no start condition. randomly died first acted like it was starving for fuel. code...

the P0308 wouldn't be a direct cause of a no-start condition. The 1662 is an indication of a bad IDM which triggers your injectors or a problem with a relay. Check the IDM circuit...
