ill move this for you.

however there is not trick pcv is a simple twist lock pull out push in twist back, that easy.

plugs do them one at a time and dont remove more than one coil at a time cant mix up the firing order that way

dont waste your time/monle replacing the ignition coils on the 4.7, as there are 8 of them its a bit cost prohibitive to replace them.

replacing fuel injectors is also a waste of money unless there is a problemw ith them just keep using them until there is a problem

Hey thank you so much for your time! Im doing the plugs tomorrow, so when its cold she wont start right away and then idles kinda funny and theres a belt starting to squeal and i dont think its the surentine belt. Do you think after a tune up the plugs and the pcv that would fix the problem?

the iac is the one that matches the symptoms closest,

also the eonly belt under the hood on these trucks is the serpentine belt

the crankshaft position sensor (cps) would typically throw a code or cause a hard/no start condition if it were bad so id say that is probably fine.
