Remove and replace plugs/coils

[George]

I am attaching a pdf file that was posted elsewhere this morning on the web. It shows how to do this. It is important to note that it also tells how/where to apply a specialty grease to keep the water out.

Edited:
Sorry, I am not allowed to attach anything. I have reached my limit. However, if you PM me your email addresses, with subject " R&R Coils, I'll send a copy of the file to you.

Dave:
I am emailing the pdf file to you as we speak. Also, I found a place that sells coils for $48. if that's any deal. I will go find that data and edit this message later with it.
EDITING:
$42.07 for coils can be found at motorhead site

Also BTW, I know a guy who is having heavy duty coils made for the aftermarket. The Lincoln LS has had, probably, more COP issues then the TBIrds have so he is currently testing a HD Coil now. If accepted they plan to move into the TBird coils, if these do not work for us. I'll keep you posted. Here is the original posting I made

Here is the file I promised to attach, a while back, for removing and replacing coils.
I had emailed it to Dave but as our cars get older many others may want to have this fileas well.

George,
I am a new member looking for information on my 2003 t-bird. When replacing the ignition coils do all 8 of the coils need to be replaced or is there a way of determining which is malfunctioning?

I think, and George can verify, that the COPs on the 2003s have a special extended factory warranty until 100,000 miles.

EDIT: P.S. To answer your question the computer error code tells you which one is misfiring. Im in the Chicago area and here we have AutoZone stores that will read the code for you for free. But if you have less than 100,000 miles on your Tbird let the dealer do it.

All coils do not need to be replaced, and the test will identify which one is acting up.
Quickdraw is correct. If it's '03 you have an extended warranty. I cannot attach a copy of that letter here or even PM it to you.
So if you want to PM me your email address I'll try to get it to you that way. Otherwise just go to a Ford dealer. They should know that you have an extended warranty up to 100,000 miles for the coils-on-plugs (COPS).
