haha i know your not harrasing me i tend to throw statments out there pretty genral. Alot of guys on here use them

 

I found that a vac. hose had become disconnected. I hauled a car from Chicago back to Ia. Monday so I suspect that the vibration must have worked it loose. Reset the puter so I guess I will see where we go from here. The slight miss is not present at this time, so we shall see?

 

Yea , I wouldn't buy those from the dealer. The difference is -

1. You pay eight times as much for their coils.
2. You chances of getting a bad one isn't any different.
3. They don't warranty their Coils (what's that tell yuh).

There's allot of parts I wouldn't get any where else other than the dealership "Ford" - BUT coils isn't one of them.

BTW - I went to the dealership to pickup a DPFE sensor for and 99 Explorer. They wanted $149 for that damn sensor. I've never seen that sensor priced so high.. What's going on?

 

That could have been it. Thing is , when you re-boot with a misfire, all seems well . But, if the problem hasn't been resolved, you'll know it within the next 100 miles or so. Re-booting seems to do that in misfire situations. I can't explain why.

Keep us posted

 

wait what... Jbrew cant explain something?? is today the end of the world?? Just seems like you can explain everything Jbrew and ur good at it too!!

Ill tell you why thats so much Because no one in michigan has money for people to work on there cars!!! at UPS we are losing some of the companys that ship with us 3,000-5,000 Boxs a DAY!!! and the company is gone because michigan sucks so....They jack up the prices on everything!! im really thinkin bout moving to TN when i get ASE certified No state taxes and hey half my family lives down there!!

 

Well , I could try to explain it - I have a ball park idea why and know where to look for the explanation if inspired to do so.. Don't feel like it

Michigan does suck - I just took a non-union job for now

 

Yepper, I will keep the posts coming.

 

so as i stated before i am home on leave where can i get cops cheap and fast is should i try a parts store

 

How fast ? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/NEW-I...mZ180223319317

 

Hey there jbrew, O.E. does warranty the coils 1yr-12,000mi. and some stores warranty the motocraft for 3-36, but not lifetime, oh well. Unless the dealer does it, then it goes with the emissions coverage of 8-80, not that that matters to anyone with 100,000 mi. But they are all about not having to replace them all, well you know my opinion anyway. I understand the cost is high though. we all do what we gotta do.

 

I keep hearing conflicting stories about that . That they don't warranty their electronic parts. Or that they do, just not officially lol. Maybe it depends on who you talk to and IF they know what there talking about. I really don't have supporting data either way, so, just going by what I here.

I believe you tho.

 

they wont warrenty the cops under the emissions warrenty they already looked in to it. But i guess i will order them off ebay no other place is cheaper i guess i will be payin for next day air lol thanks

 

ok so he showed me today "the mechanic" they had it hooked up to like there ten thousand dollar mac scan tool he had it in gear power brakin it and it was mis firing like crazy and the scan tool is reading no mis fires lol this is why he is tellin me it might be my computer he says.

 

Did you replace the plugs?

 

Yeah, that doesn't suprise me. Our district Ford parts rep. says to call him personally if a part Warranty problem does arise with our dealers. So by that I am assuming they have many problems with their own people, and that just sucks.
