my truck studders and shakes very bad when it goes in overdrive around 40mph, it throws the check engine light on and my edge said p0306 or something like that says 6th cylinder missifre detected so i cleared it and took it to my mechanic and said that he needs the cel to be on so he can find out wats wrong with it

i told him and he said the coil pack for that cylinder is around 80 bucks is that a bad or good price

 

Bad price if you can do the work yourself. The coil is $50 from Auto Zone. I just bought all 8 on Ebay for $87 shipped. I haven't installed them yet, I'll keep you posted.

 

Do you own a Ford ? If so , do you know what motor you have. Some have CP's while others have COP systems. You haven't fill in your info. The "profile" part of registering that you blew off. Makes it hard to help you when you cut corners. If you don't have the enough courtesy to at least fill the stuff in, then why ask for help?

408 posts and you still say f^ck that? - Well, yea, same to yuh -Good Luck.

 

sorry its a 2001 f150 with the 5.4l

 

Look at my post - upper right hand corner, just fill it in once and you'll never have to again. Not personal info, just your truck and engine size; there's no forgetting that way. Then it's always there with each post.

You need help with that ? Just say the word.

Anyway, you have a bad coil on 6. #6 is a 10-15 minute job to change.

What dabigguy said is absolutely correct btw. - Quick fix is to grab a coil from auto-zone and install it yourself. #6 is easy.

Global Automotive coils are good and cheap, but you'll have to wait 3 days for them to arrive.

I suggest doing them all, but it's a more detailed and time consuming job.

 

there done

 

I am too - look up ^^ I edited at the end (more info)

 

ok wat all kind of tools do i need to do so and also should i change all spark plugs as well

and where are the coil packs loacted and anything i have to remove to get to them

and wat brand

 

As for removing the all plugs and COPs you need to do a search here and make a decision for yourself.
The #6 cylinder is under the power steering pump reservoir. Unbolt the reservoir brackets from the intake and move it to the side. Unplug the COP connector and remove the hold down bolt that is a 7mm [I think]. After removing the bolt pull the COP up just like a spark plug wire. You may have to turn it to clear the fuel rail. Remember on installing the new one to use plenty of dielectric grease.

 

Yea, your right torkum, 7mm for the hold downs. 8mm for the fuel rail. The SVT site has the tools listed I believe - extensions and universals + tap . Tap them all specially if you only have one socket the right size.

I guess our tech articles aren't working on this site

Here's a few others -

Motorcraft Only Plugs.

BTW -Stop calling them "coil pacs" - That's a totally different system from what you have. You have COP's (Coil over Plug) Dedicated coils. Coil pacs energize multiple cylinders.

 

You can look up "Matt Adams Spark plug change" online - Google it, that's a good one.

 

also just to let you guys know that it has 80k on the truck and never changed the fuel filter so should i do that as well

and also should i go ahead and get all the cop's changed and plugs as well while its being worked on i was looking at these on ebay are they ok or junk

or go with those

 

Yea go with these - http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/NEW-I...mZ160267162537

I would go w/Motorcraft "Fine wire" plugs - I think there SP479's. You can get type 3 injectors on ebay pretty cheap. "Bosch 19 lb Type 3 injectors" Those are injectors for these trucks.

Let us know before you install - we will take you thru it , cover all the bases.

Change your fuel filter every 15,000 miles or so agter you do all this. You'll prolly need a fuel pump before you hit 100,000 miles. Mine went @ 90,000 and I changed the filter often.

 

ok so with those coils wat else do i need i know spark plugs and is that it i dont need new fuel injectors do i

also how hard is it to change all the coils and if i get a shop to do it how much would i be looking at
