Getting a P0351 (only) code and have replaced coil pack, plugs and wires. But still run rouh at idle, want to pin only wires from coil pack to other end to make sure no breakage.

When you see these codes , it's time to worry . These ford coil on plug system's can fry the transistors that control the coil firing . New computer or reman at ford $ 800.00 buck's then it needs to be programmed (dealer) What engine ? 3.0 v-6
This happens when the spark plug's are neglected , gap get's to wide , make's coil's over heat an break down , spark goes through the primary wire to the computer . Your best bet , take it to a qualified repair shop.
First of all, even though the Issue says Coil Pack, that does not necessarily mean the Coil Pack is Bad. It could be a Loose Connection, it could be a Bad Wire, it can also mean a Bad Spark Plug or fouled Injector but to answer your question...
The Coil Pack is located under the Plastic on top of your Engine and Directly connects to the Spark Plug. If I was you I would Swap the #1 and #3 Coil Packs and see if the Fault Code follows the Coil Pack. If it does then replace the Coil Pack. If it stays with the Cylinder, I would be checking the Connectors, Wires, Injector and Spark Plug.
Ignition Coil "A" Circuit Primary/Secondary Malfunction
Our emissions expert has put together the following information about the P0351 fault code. We have also included diagnostic procedures you can take to your repair shop if the mechanic is having difficulty analyzing the code. OBD II Fault Code
OBD II P0351 Ignition Coil "A" Circuit Primary/Secondary Malfunction
What does this mean? The ignition coil or coils are responsible for igniting the air/fuel mixture inside the combustion chambers. Without reliable performance from the ignition coil(s) the vehicle will stumble and misfire.
Code P0351 indicates there's an electrical problem in either the primary ( the computer side ) or the secondary ( the spark plug side ) of the Ignition Coil "A" Circuit. Symptoms
Check Engine Light will illuminate
Engine idles rough
Engine misfires on acceleration
In rare cases, the engine may not exhibit noticeable symptoms
Common Problems That Trigger the P0351 Code
Defective Ignition Coil(s)
Defective Spark Plug(s)
Intake Manifold Vacuum leaks
Carbon buildup in the Throttle Body air passages
Defective Idle Air Control Valve or Electronic Body
Common Misdiagnosis
Ignition coil(s) replaced when cause of the malfunction was a vacuum leak
Spark Plugs replaced when cause of the malfunction was a vacuum leak
p0306 refers to cylinder 6 misfire detected===causes engine mechanical fault--wiring---ignition/fuel system--injector ---ECT/MAF sensor---ECM
IF there was a mechanical fault (hydraulic follower ) or valve it would be there most of the time and not just on start up. Possible injector fault but I would be inclined to check out the MAF sensor codes p0351 &2 refer to ignition coil A and ignition coil B primary /secondary--circuit malfunction === causes --wiring--ignition coil--ECM ( all causes for the both)
going on this check out the coils and check that the wiring and connections are clean and tight. basically I would be inclined to change out the coils and check /replace the MAF sensor.
change the engine --sounds like advice to get some extra money out of you.
i think this has a coil pack, if so it is a common failure it will give a random misfire code most cases. and also the crank sensors are known to fail .. jay
These codes are for a malfunctioning ignition coil/s.
P0351= ignition coil A primary/secondary circuit malfunction.
P0354= ignition coil D primary/secondary circuit malfunction. visually check the coil packs for burn marks, damage, loose wire connectors, and the wire harness to each of the coils for damage. How long has this been happening? Has any work been done recently? Did the engine compartment recently get wet?
Has anyone found the problem? My 2003 has #3 cyclinder misfire and I have replaced the plugs and wires. It runs rough at idle but smooths out at highway speed. Anyone have any knowledge on this? This sounds like a common problem.
The code reads: ignition coil #1 primary circuit. If the coil pack has been replaced, then it is likely the PCM (computer package) is defective and needs to be replaced. That circuit is driven directly by the PCM. This information was taken from a '96 Dodge Caravan service manual (3.3 V6 engine with coil pack ignition system), and should be similar. If your engine uses a distributor instead of a coil pack, then the above code doesn't apply. Even if it does apply, the code implies a 'miss' situation, not complete engine stoppage unless the computer operates the 'automatic shut down relay'??
