I was under the impression that the limp home mode was in case of catastrophic coolant loss.
And yes, just two cylinders fired at any given time (and the pair that wasn't firing was cooled by the intake air) ... but the pairs alternate - so essentially all four cylinders are used in limp home mode, just not at the same time.

I'd say grab some Motorcraft Coppers. The P/N is AZFS22C. If you're looking for Platinums, run to AutoZone and pick-up some Autolite Double Plats. Whatever you do, don't get Bosch Quads. They suck
