Coil Pack Problem Poll

[01txr]

The genuine ford coils are made by Visteon.

The ones I have that have failed are

3R2U-12A366-AA

FI1TA (Smaller text) 3056CA

It is in the smaller text that all the coil packs I have, have different numbers

The set in the car I think they are 3027CA.

The new set are packed away but I know they where a different number again on the smaller text.

Iam pretty certain this small text is going to be batch numbers.

this has just happened to mine I think when boost comes up over 5 psi it starts to cough and fart and idles rough

it would have to happen right after the holidays :(

Mine developed a fault in one of the coils late last year. Symptoms were, breaking down under load, like a stutter - traction control "bap bap bap bap"..Sounded kinda cool, like the new launch control in the FG manuals..heheh

swapped out all 6 coils, and whalla, all fixed

I think that I have got this problem now. Its exactly like the descriptions above....when I am driving and it comes on boos it starts to splutter just like traction control intervening, except its nowehere near spinning the weels.

It does also have a slightly rough idle but is more noticeable when I go to take off and it wants to stall.

I haven't had it apart yet but was just wondering if anyone has determined the best way to identify the faulty coil?

Is it usually too intermittent to notice any colour difference in the spark plug?

Can testing the resistance of the coils show up any irregularities?

My coils started with an intermittant problem. After driving 1500km with a box trailer on the back every time I stand on the gas the car misses above 3500rpm (sounds like traction control is interventing) then when idling after it has that BAP, BAP, BAP sound.

I will probably replace the coils with after market items and also replplace my plugs.

well before I fitted mine while sitting there idling I could feel my car rocking from side to side from the rough idling but after installing the borgg coils it idles really nice cant even tell shes on apart from the burble of the exhaust so u should b ok
