First off, the spark plug change went ok. Took the coils off last Friday and spraying some penetrating fluid in there. Saturday I took the plugs out, broke 3. Sunday I went to O'Rilleys and bought the Lisle tool, removed the 3 broken plugs and installed the new ones. Only other snags I ran into, was last of working rooms, so I had to take off a couple hoses, fuel rail, computer, and upper intake. Everything went back on pretty good, but I now have 2 problems. One of the hoses I took off, is missing a gasket.



And I have an empty plug attached to my ignition wiring.

 

So... Any insight on what size gasket is used or what should be plugged in?

 

The unhooked wire hooks to another wire that goes into the intake manifold just to the right of the throtle body and beside the hose that has a green clip thingy on it. No clue what the wire is for though. Hope this helps

 

Just 1 problem now! Thanks turkey! Was looking everywhere but around the intake.

On to the gasket... No where other than special order from ford has it, so I bought a rubber washer and I'll try to cut it to the right size. I'm hoping it works since I need to drive the truck tomorrow.

 

So did you find the wire and reconect it?

 

Indeed I did. Don't want to crank the engine yet though. Without that gasket all I'd be doing is leaking gas(?) all over. About to go to a dealer and see if they sell that $.50 part.

 

Ok, update time. Those 2 problems are fixed, now I have 2 more. Check engine light is on reading code P0357 (bad circuit on #7 coil), took the coil off and reinstalled it (didn't seem to be fully connected) but the light is still on. Also, something is leaking bad. Appears to be either an air or vacuum line, since I see no fluid on the ground or spitting out. Any ideas?

 

You can reset the check engine light by unhooking the negative batery terminal and rehooking it in about a minute. As far as the leak where is it leaking from

 

The leak sounds like it's coming from around the middle 2 coils. Close to where the EGR(?) hose goes into the engine on the passenger side.

 

Can you see any liquid or can u just hear it?
