is there anyway to check the coils to see if they are firing? any tool i can buy to plug into the OBD II port to check them? or am i going to have to pull the plug on them one at a time? damn truck sounds like its running on 5 holes :smt013

now i wonder if i can take them to ford and have them check them seeing as i had to take them out today :hitem:

 

[lightninmike]

dont suppose anybody knows the codes (for the scal tool) that goes to a bad coil and the number of the coil

No sorry I dont Mike

But

THANKS AND WELCOME TO THE FAMILY [smilie=wavey.gif]

 

[liteitup]

thanks for the welcome. I've been around for a while. I mostly just lurk and watch all the fun.

If the coil is not working at all, wouldn't it show up as a  misfire on an OBDII reader?



Hey Herb, you think these guys are ready for me?

Hey Phil - welcome aboard!!

If any group is ready for you, it'll be this one [smilie=fingersx.gif] Throw the injector question into the mix and see where it goes! There are some good minds here (and some that maybe once were ), without too much of the trolling and pre-K attitudes.

Mike - you know anyone else with a 5.4 Ford Truck, L or not? You could just swap them over and have them tested on another running engine. I have checked mine for simple winding resistance, but that doesn't tell you much other than its not burned open or shorted.

BTW Phil,

Be sure to keep an eye on this board: [smilie=popcorn.gif]

We're trying to kick start our own SCT PRP forum here on LightningRodder. Not much going on with it yet, but wait till I get mine - questions galore!!

[liteitup]

thanks Herb. I think I'll wait a bit on the injector questions. I kinda ended up w/ foot in mouth disease on that one. If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.

 

[lightninmike]

yep coils are good and yah Herb i did think of pulling my fathers but he just laughed at me
i wont tell you what i think it wrong cause i feel like an ass

 

[liteitup]

I'm betting something didn't get plugged in.....been there, done that.
