Could just call them coils. - Can't go wrong

 

So I got it done today and I tried a product called Gunk Heavy Duty Gel . What a waste of money I followed the directions to a T and it tuned out horrible! I couldn't believe it its like I didn't do anything at all! Here are the pictures after using Gunk.





It also left a white film on everything .

It did it over again after the engine cooled down with the super clean engine degreaser the stuff that come in purple bottle and of course came out more what I am used too. I did however use the Gunk engine shine and that did work much better than the other product. Here are the results of that .







Unfortunately I have a misfire on cylinders 2 and 4 not sure if its off the coils or the spark plugs can someone tell me which cylinders are 2 and 4 so I can just disconnect those two. The can be a bitch so I don't want to disconnect them all. I unplugged all the plug wires at the ignition coils since that's simple enough and I have a few fans running over the engine overnight.

 

Standing in front of the truck...

Did you use compressed air to blow out the plug wells afterwards? If not, they are full of water. Pull the plug boots, blow the plug wells out, dry out the boots, apply dielectric grease to the boot ends and reinstall.

Did you cover up the coil packs?

 

He has been told all that already. Well, he doesn't have a compressor. I know I said to cut up and old towel or something. Block off the plug chambers, to prevent them from filling up. He also was told to cover the packs. I believe others have tried to help to..

Didn't want you wasting your time as well.

 

All cleared up and running like a champ again!

 

I would love to do this on my truck but I'm scared of having issues afterwards. What do I need to cover up (pics would help).

 

You have cops - you have to be even more careful.

 

 

@jbrew whats the problem got a little water on the plugs dried em out and its fine. Why is that funny????!

 

I think, When washing a mod motor or really ANY engine you have to be prepared to live with the consequences. You could get water in a plug hole and it could fry a coil. Worse then that could happen.. Gotta use common sense. Water gets in my distributor cap on my old mustang. Stuff happens. I like having a clean engine so once in awhile I roll the dice..

 

@pmason718 That is one sick truck man!

 

Apply a little common sense.
The coil voltage is as high as 40,000.
The boots dry out and can with help from moisture get pin holes punched through.
Water in that closed space turns to steam and become even more troublesome.
It's conductiive in that state and condenses on the surfaces after cool down.
If a motor is to be cleaned, remove the coils and put a 'cork' in each well to seal water out. Takes more work but a lot less hassle afterwards.
Good luck.

 

At least you can pull the cap and dry it out.

 

Thank you. I really need to upload some updated pics not that I have a bed cover, you just gave me an idea thank you

 

I guess I was lucky. Right after I got the truck from a mudding mad man. I took it to a car wash bay and sprayed it down with engine cleaner and power washed the whole bay. When I was done I hopped in and drove off, never had a issue.
