    pull coil packs and blow out any water that might have gotten by the pack out of the spark plug hole

    I had the same thing happen once. I was VERY careful but two of the coil packs had very small cracks that allowed moisture in. Might be something to check.

    WD-40 gets rid of water..use to use it on my distributir cap when I would go off roading. Once you get the water out make sure you pack it with some electrical grease

    Ford sells really good dielectric grease in the parts department. I coat the porcelain for the plug so when the coil pack snaps on it creates a seal.
