Where to buy 8 coil packs?
 
Hey all, i want to change all 8coil packs at once. Got random cylinder misfires. Used car dealer said they did a tuneup but, if i really get on it, she shutters, light flashes as well. So who do you recommend i buy my coil packs from? I was told the dealer may have changed the plugs, but maybe not with motorcraft. To scared to try and remove one, becuz if it breaks im SOL.

I got mine from Uneek off ebay. $105 shipped for all 8 and they are working great.

I seriously doubt a used car dealer would have changed the plugs. If you are getting stutters and CEL flashes, the odds are the plugs haven't been changed. At 132K miles, the previous owner probably didn't want to fork out the cost of changing the plugs and traded it in. In any event, it's not that big a deal changing the plugs. Just get the Lisle tool and read up on it. The tool does a good job getting it out as long as you follow the proper technique. You can get it for about $60 shipped at Amazon. Make sure you put a bit of grease on the screw bit so it doesn't wear out prematurely. And make sure you use Motocraft SP515 plugs. If I were you, I'd get the tool first, and then check out the plugs before I change the COPS.

I would take a plug out first to see if they have been changed. Just read up on the removal and take your time pulling them out. COP's will be the easy part.

Ask the used car lot for a work order, save you the hassle of trying to pull a plug and breaking it.

If you do buy them, amazon has good deals on, accels, msd and factory coils.

Coil packs are to expensive to replace them all find the bad ones and replace them it will save you alot of money and you can find them at any autoparts store or ford dealer also online

I had a shaky idle issue. And I replaced all my coil packs because it has 100K and my truck runs smoother and idles a little higher. Just because they are not fully bad does not mean some cant be just weak.

What I am saying is you might have 2 or 3 bad ones but miswell replace them all to be safe.
