Get someone with decent ford experience to look at it before spending $$ on trial and error. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im hating it! Cant be fixed soon enough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turboBA Member 28 Member For: 12y 3m 4d Gender: Male Location: Perth Posted 18/01/13 12:55 AM Author Share Posted 18/01/13 12:55 AM After a bit of a read up over the last few days, and the problem getting worse every day (or seems to be to me) , I decided this morning to pull the coils out and inspect.It isn't as clear as I thought to see if they're stuffed.And also, Only the 4th attempted plug I was able to remove, I'm really pulling on the others and can see other people say that the whole top can come off and leavethe tube stuck in there, not what I'd like to happen... any tricks to remove them safely? or just rip into it?The bottom of the one I could remove has white s**t, does that means they're stuffed? I have pics of the rest of the unit but they look fine to me. I'm thinking if they're that hard to remove they may not have been changed in a while anyway.Visteon is the brand. (standard I think rite?)ALLLLLSO...as I was doing the minor surgery on the engine, I noticed in the throttle body that the valve doesn't shut all the way, it leaves a small gap, about 2-3mm. is this normal?I tried posting pics of it all on here but came up with "error, cannot post pics on this community?"My car is in pieces at them moment so quick reply would be nice, stuck at home.. may have to take the pushbike down to the shop.

Easy as! Don't worry they will come out.If throttle body is fully closed how would the car idle?!?!? Edited 18/01/13 01:13 AM by Kosij Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turboBA Member 28 Member For: 12y 3m 4d Gender: Male Location: Perth Posted 18/01/13 01:23 AM Author Share Posted 18/01/13 01:23 AM (edited) Uhh very true, haha need to think before I post next time.thanks for quick reply. just called Ford, $65 ea for coils but their saying they're not Visteon? something like Motorplex (or something with motor in it, motor tech etc)and Repco quoting $75 ea for another random brand. Go with Ford? In between posts ill be attempting to rip the other 5 coils out...All coils out, one had white stuff on the bottom quite bad, the others only a little bit. at $390 plus plugs I hope this fixes the hesitation Edited 18/01/13 01:37 AM by turboBA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I put a post on her a while back but my Repco coil packs were farked after a few days and had a huge battle with Repco to get a refund.Buy genuine ford coil packs from eBay, they are cheap on eBay and you won't have any issues.

spinr33 Donating Members 964 Member For: 13y 7m 23d Posted 18/01/13 06:56 AM Share Posted 18/01/13 06:56 AM Mine came from here and defiantly genuine had the newer ca part number etc as well ask them for 6 as they aren't listed currently, sparkplugs buy from ford as most eBay listings are more then dealer rrp once their done should be good for along time and a lot of issues with sparkplugs and coils so doesn't hurt to do both at once http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/FORD-6CYL-BA-IGNITION-COIL-GENUINE-COIL-TURBO-XR6-/121046502911?pt=AU_Car_Parts_Accessories&hash=item1c2eef0dff&_uhb=1#ht_923wt_704 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
