Replying to: rryder3 (Aug 13, 2009 5:13 am) The coil packs did work, I wish I hadn't waited so long to deal with it. I remembered it all started after a hard rain, moisture was seeping up into the coil pack boots. Make sure your replacement includes both coil & boot. You'll need a spring type bendable socket extension to reach all the holder bolts.   I instinctively thought that increasing the load, turning on the AC for example, would accent the problem but in truth it never seemed to make a difference, it did it the same regardless.   BTW, my check engine light never did come on either. I have had a battery light coming on intermittently for a couple yrs now that I haven't figured out. Doesn't seem to affect battery strength or life. Good luck Rryder3 let me know if I can help.   Wedo43 Replies to this message: rryder3 (Aug 13, 2009 9:11 am)

Replying to: wedo43 (Aug 13, 2009 5:49 am) Thanks for the quick response! Found coils with boot at ford auto parts. Charging $70 for each. I am going to replace 4 for now to see. Mechanic says he will install the four, and if that doesn't work, he'll switch out the other set of four. I'm thinking if we capture were the moisture (condensation) is coming from it'll work. I know it sounds cheap, just trying to save some $$.   I'm learning more than I ever thought I would about this truck. I must say that I am surprised that there wasn't a recall for this problem.   You've been a great help! Thank you.

You can get aftermarket coils for around $90 for the whole set. Try ebay. Lots of people have had very good luck with them.

yeah, I bought some off of ebay and paid considerably less than the dealer price. They've worked fine for over a year now. wedo43

Hello,   Just wanted to thank you (wedo43 and alwaysfords2). Found that it was the # 7 coil that wasn't operating properly. Got the Ignition Coils off of ebay for $59.00 versus $90 ea from a dealer. My truck is riding fine now. Whew!!   Thanks again!

Replying to: orlando32817 (Jul 29, 2007 1:38 pm) does that apply if you have an 2003 Eddie Bauer expedition with a 5.4L engine instead of a 4.6?

Yes, it applied to my 2003 XLT with the 5.4 engine.
