Great video!! Saved me much @$$ pain, scraped knuckles, bruised arms, and more. A quick trip to Napa for a $5.00 1/2" (F) to 3/8" (M) socket adapter, and was able to remove and replace #8 spark plug in 10 min. Would love to buy you a beer, my friend!
You just saved me so much stress, headaches and aggravation. I was getting cylinder 2 & cylinder 4 misfire. Haven't had the truck long, but figured the coils were bad with the truck having 140k on it. I replaced all 8 and drove for a short while and felt the hesitation come back. Check engine light began blinking and the engine power was down to where my a/c quit and power steering was cutting out. I got 3 of these clips that broke as yours did. I pushed them back on as best I could and figured it would be ok, but obviously not. Thankfully I found this video and plan to hit the junk yard on my way home today. There is a few of these in the yard there. Hopefully I can find some that are still decent enough. No way was I going to cut and splice, but figured I would have to replace the whole harness and or take it to the shop. I am so relieved that I can fix this myself. I am good with cars and almost always repair things myself, but I do not like messing with electrical because things are so finicky. Thanks again. I feel so lucky to have found a video that was the exact problem and solution in 1 short video.
wow, the only video I have found on RU-vid. My problem is that I'm not hearing any clicking noise. I didn't know that it was possible to recalibrate the blend doors so I am going to try that this afternoon before I go any further. Thank you.
Thank you very much. You helped me repair a broken trim center in a boat that I’m installing a trim gauge in that never had one in it before you save me a lot of work and money.
Does the ECU on a 1998 Ford Explorer record misfire data for each cylinder or is this car too old for that? I can find total number of misfires on a bidirectional scanner but no cylinder number record. And I've looked in mode 6 but test 53n the misfire one, isn't available. Same issue when using a computer-based generic OBDII scanner.
Thanks for the video I have been wrestling with the idea of pushing the wires through the hole without removing the whole outdrive. 😮. This is a much better option...😊
I wrestled with the same idea and figured this was a better way. Never had any issues with the trim gauge after the rebuild. Glad the video was helpful.
@fixinstuff unfortunately for me I was able to fix my trim limit switch rebuilding it but my trim sender didn't come back so I'll have to route the new harness through there.. Trim limit was my big problem anyway cuz I had to use the trailer button to trim the motor up ..
Just broke one replacing a coil pack on a 4.6 Sport Trac today. Stupid thing wouldn't lock back on, then the tab just broke right off like the one in the video.
tried this and the little pin part wont go back inside connector .The red part. mine is yellow and smaller . dont work also the wires wont seat all the way inside cuz the rubber stops wont fit back in back of connector
