if available you might want to blow out the plug home after the coil is out but before the plug comes out. If there is sand or other stuff in the hole and you take the plug out, now it goes down into cylinder
Turns out had alot of problems using thoes coils best I could figure is they are hot spark coils and the voltage from the factory wiring and computer will not fire them correctly bought some super cheep coils from Amazon works just fine
@davidusher9228 to be honest you don't have to check the gap in less you find one bent they should be close from when you buy them inless you want to be specific
I have a question. But first, thank you for this video. I have a 2000 Excursion throwing an occasionally that shows 4 and 7 cylinder. My question is if you have any tips reaching the coils back under the overhang of the windshield?
Got her figured out. Ignition coil B, is cylinder 2. I was able to print out the schematic that shows cylinder assignments. 1-5 passenger, 6-10 driver side, starting from the front. Thanks for this vid. Helped a ton.
No the spark plugs in the triton motor v8 or v 10 have problems blowing out of the heads I do not suggest using antisize if they back out any could potentially further the problems they have I have had 3 now that have had to be refitted with threads
No do not use antisize the triton motors v8 and v10 has problems with blowing out the spark plugs. using antisize my potentially further this problem. I have had 3 give up on my motor and have had to refitte with heli coils
@@puddmaster16danielsullivan94 lmfao they don’t blow out because of anti seize. They blow out because of a poor head design. Do you ubderstand what anti seize is ? It doesn’t allow this to get loose, it keeps things from corroding and seizing up. If torqued properly the anti seize won’t hurt anything lmao.
@@puddmaster16danielsullivan94 I used anti seize on every plug I’ve ever put in, including my v10. That was 4 years ago with heavy towing use only and never had one back out. You torque them properly and it’s the proper way to do it.
The plug gap is NOT supposed to be .54..... i have a 02 6.8 v10, the owners manual states between .4 and .5.. always gap mine to .45 NOT .54.. currently sitting at 207k miles and due for coils/plugs
heat eventually damages rubber boots. Cracked boots can ground to head through crack and give you misfires. Coils also can be worn out by heat and vibration and firing a few billion times over 50,000 miles
Sooo. The ford engineers in their infinite wisdom, decided to cut the threads in the head with an imperceptibly slight taper. I had auto light plugs in mine and one shot out because of microns less engagement on the outer threads. Fomoco plugs only in these engines or you will be installing an insert like me.
HAND HELD NUT DRIVER LIKE A SCREW DRIVER FOR THE 7MM FASTNER SO YOU DON'T ACCIDENTALLY MESS UP THOSE LIL STINKIN FASTNERS WHICH WOULD BE SOOO EASY WITH A RATCHETT
