Default Do it Yourself Coils and Plugs
Can a person with little to no Auto Repair experience change coils and plugs themself?

I have a 2001 Expy 5.4 with 70K miles. It is missing badly and the exhaust smells funky. The CEL hasn't illuminated yet.

I do have mechanical aptitude, and have done things such as oil changes, after market catback installs, and filter charger installs. I have replaced one coil on #5, but it is the easy one (front right).

Conversely, what can I expect the dealer to charge for changing all 8 coils and plugs?

Thanks.
