well i know i have the same problem , and i know its a bad coil, I suggest razors edge, keith over there is pretty good with diagnostic checks.Originally Posted by 2002BlacknBlue
Appreciate the info. A little too far to go and their 'tude' has left a bad taste in my mouth.
Man I know a guy that can help you but it is down here in miami. To be more specific hialeah. You let me know.
Firemedix, any chance you can call him and get a ballpark figure for replacing the heads. I will get the heads. I just need a labor charge.
did you use the same coil again?
No, I had to get a new coil because the boot was torn up and the mounting ear was bent. I even tried putting the new boot on the old coil to try anything. I have a boroscope that I will look inside with tonight and I might have a lead on a Ford mechanic that has an analyzer at his house and he only lives 3-4 miles from mine. I hat driving it. When it gets to 3rd gear it starts to shudder as the rpms drop.
Well, miracles do happen. I was putting the plug back in after using the boroscope and I was inspecting it to see if the tip gap had changed like the one that blew out and lo and behold on the backside near the electrode was a fine bridge of metal that was really hard to get off. It may have been one of the little filings from the taping procedure for the coil. Everything is back to normal. Thanks everyone for your help and thoughts. I learn something every day from you all.
sweet!! now get out there and
You bet. I had just put new Hankooks on and this happened. Thanks for your help. I appreciate everything. Thanks
hey mark you big dummy if you ever get a problem like this give me a call, between the ford mechanics , me, torries, and champion racing i am sure we can hook you up! Kurt
hey Kurt. I hear you got yourself a cool new ride. when are you going to show it off???
Adam
Yeah Kurt. When you going to let the cat out of the bag?...did you get it with all the goodies too or did the original owner strip it back down? You probably got some nice tires!
that bastard stripped it, but hey, for a salvage operation i cant complain, was pretty straight and complete. Gotta thank the previous owner and got some prview pics
after the ported blower and piston rod kit, i see twins in my future. this is a super secret spy photo of a members ride to which i am sworn to secrecy! Lets just say after 867 hp @ the wheels with minimal tuning i am sure twins are the way to go!
