so your saying that every coil is just gunna s**t itself within a few weeks of each other?
doubt it. replace the missfiring ones. bet Ford wouldn't tell a customer that "one is missfiring but you should replace them all"

indeed. but seems strange that they'd last less than the plugs. aren't the intervals 150k?
i have VE's at work that come in with 180k+. original coils

LOL, thanks wildeb for ur advice, i dont see how ur "as if so expensive" comment could cause such drama, but for the record u are right, it can be a somewhat pricey exercise changing all 6 plugs and all 6 coils, depends on how much u pay for them though, i got mine fairly cheap $288 for a set of 6 coils and $77 for the plugs, so $365 all up, which to some can be expensive but i see that as reasonably priced, ive seen ppl pay $100 for EACH coil x 6 = $600, and as much as $100+ for plugs, so i can see how you think it is an expensive exercise, but with a little research and some looking around ( and ur mates trade discount card
 ) you can find your self a bargain, but thankyou to everyone who made an effort to help me out... JIM89 TROYMAN WILDEB |

sorry for comin abit late to the party but for anyone else with coil troubles, genuine ba coils on ebay for 150, just dont buy the knock offs, cheap and nasty crap. and i chucked in some bosch FUSION plugs, 120 but worth it, response is better.
 happy driving
