So the e3s didn't stand the test of time....that's too bad...
Where'd you get the weapon x cops from?

 

No..I got a little nervous with the E3's with the problems another member was having. The Weapon-X's I got from Sniper Tuning of of S. Fla : www.snipertuningsfla.com

 

Thanx!

Do they use the springs or do they have the connectors?

Edit...
I found my answer....the springs are eliminated...

They are a one piece unit, top to bottom. They actually 'snap' onto the plug and have no hold-down bolt. Just snap onto the plug and plug in the pigtail....DONE ! Fits quite tight in the well also. Go to the site and look at them...skinny little things !!...LOL

 

Am I to understand that these E3 plugs may not be a viable alternative?

 

Well I am to believe, that you can't completely rule them out yet. Just because 1 member has had a problem with them. Since they are mass produced, a company is bound to have that 1 item that just wasn't made to par.

you know?

Now that being said. I'm still going to install mine. But am in no way going to endorse them. lol.

 

In all honesty AAK, I don't know what to tell you. Judging from 'thomabro's' problems with them. In my experience, I started to get a rough idle condition, but, that just could be my driving habits..everyone is different. Mine didn't look bad when I pulled them (8500 mi). It was just my gut feeling to put the Motorcraft's back in. I can't say that the E3's would be a long term alternative at this point anyway. In saying that, everyone has a different driving habit, what won't work for me might work well for you. I just can't be comfortable in saying these plugs are a cure-all anymore. I can't be anymore honest than that.

 

i have the 5 known good original motorcraft coils and 3 global coils in it right now. i wish i could afford the weapon x coils or at least the connector upgrade. ohwell, i will say that the truck has a lot more pep to it with the 515 then the e3's did even on the times when they were working.

Upon a Google search I came across weapon x's website?
http://www.weaponxperformance.com/ca...index&cPath=37
Same thing or different?

 

Same Item..In fact, the box they come in has that same picture logo on the cover

 

Ok...

Just was reading in some of the stang forums to stay away from the blue ones=rpmoutlet=problems...they have blue markings...instead of green like you got...

 

so, i drove like 60 miles today, simply because it was so nice to have my truck back to normal... i actually want to get up for class in the morning just so i can drive there hahaha... What was that commercial?? "when you turn your car on, does it return the favor?" ... the answer is yes lol

 

Well I had had the E3's in for about 3000 miles and have a rough idle every now and then... not bad enough to shake the truck but I can tell it is not hitting just right.

 

Have you cleaned the MAF and throttle body? Could be those are dirty. However, there have been a couple of posters with failure of the E3s. One had the isulator separate from the electrode on several plugs.
