We changed the plugs only. It has coil packs so there are no wires or distributor cap

No cap, no rotor, no wires, no coil packs..If it is a 1997 lincoln mark VIII this vehicles uses a coil on plug (COP) ignition design. The individual coils one on each plug fail after time..Clear the codes on the EECIV computer with a low cost code reader. Confirm the missing has stopped. Don't guess.

If still an issue after replacing coil over plug paks, replace ECM/PCM/BCM MODULE. Ignition firing for '96 on models are fired and controlled solely through the ECM/PCM/BCM MODULE.
