i have a 1999 triton 5.4 litre with 120,000 miles. Is there anyway for me to test the individual coils with a volt ohm meter?

 

Yes!

The two connector terminals should read .5 ohms.

Then probe either of the connector terminals and the spring coil that goes on the spark plug. You should get a reading of around 5500 ohms.

 

what he said ^
in the manual it says they're good up to 10 ohms though,don't know if i'd trust that or not though,but mine read about 6 when i checked em and they're fine

 

Thanks alot! I'll get busy this weekend. While i'm in there I am going to replace all the rubber boots that attach to the coils.Just found out that they are available from napa at around 5 bucks apiece.

 

Just fyi I just replaced all 8 of mine at 152k miles. I bought a set of 8 coil packs from Troyer Performance for $200. It cost $241 total with overnight shipping.

Thanks Troyer Performance for saving me a sh*t load of money.
