FixFord F-250 — Ignition Coil Replacement Cost
What owners actually paid
The shaded middle is where half of all these repairs landed: $181 – $413. A quote inside that band is normal. Cheaper or pricier isn't automatically wrong — but it's worth asking why.
Real repair reports
These reports are a recent sample of real, paid Ford F-250 ignition coil replacement visits — quoted the way the owner and the technician actually said it.
Car owners said
“Missfire and check engine light”
“Runs rough under load”
“Coil for bank 1 & 4”
“Check engine light diagnosis, (see notes)”
“3rd coil on rt side chewed, fix”
“Diagnose check engine lite”
What the technician found
“Diagnosed and replaced cylinders #5 and #6 ignition coils”
“Verified customer concern. scanned for codes. no codes present. test drove vehicle. cyl 4 misfire under load. swap ignition coil with cyl 1. misfire moved to cyl 1. r/r ignition coil. verified proper operation.”
“Replace coil # 1 & #4 only per customer.”
What this repair is
Each coil turns battery voltage into the spark that fires a cylinder. A failed coil means a misfire you can feel — shaking, lost power, flashing check-engine light. Shops often replace the spark plugs at the same time, since worn plugs are what overwork coils in the first place.
Is your quote fair?
If your quote lands between $181 and $413, it's inside the range where half of all real Ford F-250 repairs of this kind land — and the typical job takes about 1.5 hours of labor. Quotes well below aren't automatically good news (economy parts, or related work skipped) and quotes above aren't automatically gouging (trim variants, premium parts, seized hardware) — but both ends deserve questions.
