Replying to: rgnmstr (Dec 12, 2008 11:40 pm) I thought I would stop back and let the group know of my experiences. A store did a scan and told me I had a miss in 3 and 7. I bought a couple of coils from a seller on ebay who had genuine Ford COILS for $30 each. It took me a few hours to install each one and I have a 1/4" socket set and a 7mm wrench. The tough cover bolts were the bottom rear on each side. I used to be a motorhead having owned a 55 Chevy, 60 Corvette and a 65 Griffith (289 Ford powered sports car) and I don't know how guys work on these things every day. Royal pain in the a--. It seems to me that manufactures just design these things to make money after the sale and these coils are a prime example. I read where COPs are used to save the car owner money in spark plug wire replacements. Well hell how can replacing these things be cheaper ($1200 for a full set at a dealer) or replacing one $20 coil that sits on top of an engine and a set of plug wires. I sure hope I don't have anymore of these things fail for a while. Thanks to the posters who offered the tips.

My 2003 LS had engine coils #3,4, 5,6 replaced April, June, and Oct. 2008 respectively. At the dealer the part was $99 and labor was $371 --$470 a pop! I was laid off my job and unemployment benefits are limited. I cannot afford a dealer repair. Does anyone know of a "good" mechanic that works on Lincolns in Wash., DC, Montgomery County or Prince George's County Maryland?

Replying to: susieq7 (Feb 22, 2009 3:38 pm) And dealers wonder why customers hate their asses. Ford's list price on those coils is $75 and that's high enough. For them to overcharge you by 30% is pretty sad. Why not post the name of these swell folks so others can avoid the place. Can't help you with the name of a mechanic. When I found out the raping I would take by having these things installed I bought a couple off ebay and installed them myself. Took a few hours for each one since they were on different banks but I take a lot of breaks. Replies to this message: jbr2 (Feb 27, 2009 3:32 pm)

Replying to: susieq7 (Feb 22, 2009 3:38 pm) I suggest you post a review for the dealership.   Dealer Ratings and Reviews   And go here to find a repair shop in your area. Hopefully, there may be some reviews for a good one.   Repair Shop Location and Reviews

Replying to: rgnmstr (Feb 22, 2009 8:40 pm) I have a 2004 LS with about 34,000 miles. I get the random misfire at speeds over 45 MPH. How can I determine which cylinder(s) are misfiring? MY OBD II scanner indicates that there are no trouble codes present.

I got a computer diagnostic stating misfire in number 6. Would the number 6 be located on the driver side closet to the windshield?   I want to do a full tune up. What all should I do/replace for a full tune up?   Thanks
