That I can not answer for you. I suppose as long as the 02 sensor is within the defined range it may jump around a bit? Not sure though.

I would just like to thank you guys for preventing me from spending money I did not need to. I found the coil on the #6 cylinder was not working right, so after replacing it all it well.

Nice !! Another satisfied customer.

Glad to hear that. Did you check it with a multimeter? What were the ohms? How did the boot look?

daveborg98

It ohm'd out at .6 to .7 and the boot just had a small crack in it. I did replace the boot and spring before replacing the coil though. After changing those out, it still had the issue so I moved on to replacing it. I also noticed that is was different than the rest. It was more gray in color instead of black. I would image it was replaced at one point and the cheapest one put in.

Wow! Only .6 to .7 ohms! That was for sure bad LOL! I had a similar problem with #7 on my truck. It was also a grey colored coil. If that boot was cracked I would suspect others may be getting worn too.

I replaced all boots and springs.

The rest of them were right at .8ohms so they should be good.

BadFish523

You mean 1.8? Or did you have your multimeter set higher? Either way good on replacing all the boots and springs. Should be good to go for a while!

daveborg98

Yes, i meant 1.8 ohms. 0.8 would have made for a truck that would not start.

StefanG-- is right, the oem coils don't go bad that often . Boots and springs as well as cleaning coils more likely fix. Of course if not installed right with dielectric grease and proper plug torque-- it can be for nothing . If boot gets damaged in anyway ,blowby ,gasoline ,oil etc-- change them . 50 ,000 volts or so will track easy and short out . Moisture can get inside boot if you don't use dielectric grease .
The short from a bad boot can destroy a coil after a while . Change them all when doing plugs .
Heat/ chemicals destroys rubber .
Everything on these plugs must be exactly correct or you can lose cats etc.
I worked high voltage up to 765,000 volts . The bucket truck booms are cleaned and coated with dielectric grease. The higher end volts are only worked hot with helicopters .
