Engine misfire how can I fix it?

WHITETAILFREAK · 2009-10-27T10:06:19+00:00

When traveling at hwy speeds and gently pushing further on the accelerator, the vehicle feels like there is a sputter or the trani is engaging and disengaging rapidly. Although, watching the Tach, it doesn't appear the engine is increasing separate of the trani. When pressing faster and further on the accelerator, the problem does not show up. Tried turning off the Overdrive and the problem still occurred. Cannot tell if it is an engine or trani problem. No "check engine" light set.

I have a 2002 ford expedition 5.4L V8. It started to run really rough. Code reader said #7 cylinder misfire. I replaced all plugs and coil pack on #7 cylinder. It runs better but It still lags. Code still pops up as #7 cylinder misfire. Also, I have white smoke(which stinks) coming out occasionally. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

Next step is to do a compression test and check the injector
