Lol Coil packs are common in our world. The tick your hearing could be a few things, it could be a bad coil boot and you're hearing the spark resonate in the head on that cylinder, could be your hearing the injector more on the dead cylinder since it is not firing, could just be you never noticed the tick before lol. PM me your addy and I'll ship you 2 good coils if you pay the shipping.

I do coils in these cars 2v or 3v and ford trucks all day long. They have issues due to heat. A wet plug is a plug that's in a dead cylinder , usually it's fuel fowled from no spark

So I had no luck... I swapped the two coils yesterday with two new ones (thanks to Keith) but it was a no go...in fact the car actually ran worse with those two coils changed...

I still didn't get a chance to try the injector trick Mike as I was stressed on time but I am gonna check that out I'm the next day or two...

On a side note.... When I had the two new coils in and fired the car up I could still hear the tick/nock so my sad thought is that the noise can't be coming from a bad cool if the two that are supposed to be bad were not in the car :( I'm bummed here guys any more help/input is greatly appreciated!!!

Did you make sure the two coils I sent you were firing? I keep spares from cars that I change all eight in and toss the bads ones out. That doesn't mean that the good ones stay good sitting in the box all the time. Quick test for them is to un bolt them start the car and lift them up slightly and see if you here the spark click in the cylinder they are on. Anything can happen when stuff sits around

Ok so if i hear no click then your saying they could be bad but if I hear a click then there good?

I didn't really no what to do and was stressed on time so I just left it once it wasn't running right...

I'm up for trying any thing I just want to get her going before winter gets here...

But once I put them in, the car took a second or two longer than usual of turning over before firing then once it did fire it just stalled i tried again and it ran but at SUCH a low rpm it was about to stall

Did the coils you tried have boots. If it's a bad boot a working coil won't matter. The tick noise could definitely be the noise from the spark jumping thru a boot.

Boots are cheap Todd, under $8 each. Do what Kieth said about pulling the coil & boot off each cylinder with the car running. If the car dies/misfires more then that coil/boot is working. If removing it makes no change then replace the boot 1st, if that don't fix it replace that coil too.

Do that with EVERY cylinder. Let us know what's up.



I know all about being bummed over Mustangs this year. Mine has sat most the summer with radiator issues.:nono:

Yup Todd if you hear a clicking type knock noise coming out of the hole that means it's firing if not it means it's dead. I pulled those out of a pile In my spare parts bin I can't honestly say I remember how long ago I took them out or which car they came out of lol. If they are no good I have plenty more buddy!!!!!!

Lol there has def. been some pony neglect here Bert, yup I still haven't tired the old injector trick Dave I'm a little less bisy this weekend so I'm gonna mess with our some for sure!

On a side note i have a jlt cai that takes up a lot of space so I remove it to get to the coils under it, am I fine to fire up the car with it off just well trouble shooting like this?....the thing is pretty annoying to put on and take off over and over

Todd, any updates since all of this?

Side note: probably not an issue per say, but since you mentioned fuel in the first post and running low you may have picked up some shit at the bottom of the tank and partially blocked the fuel filter... Might be a good idea to change it out. I think ford recommends doing it every year anyways.

Still notHing Ryan, I do have accel yellow top coils on the way(FINALLY)...hoping for the best
If its no good i was planning to do the fuel filter, and I have my heads/cams so I was thinking the tear down would tell more ...
Praying the coils are the only real prob...
As for cams I still need to get adjustable timing chain gears, valve covers,( cause the heads are from a 03 but I'm still unsure if id be better off switching the parts from the heads I have to my stockers or running the ported/3 angle valve job new heads that are ready to be bolted on) and whatever gaskets I may need ... Gonna be on to this SOON now!!!

Do you know what cams are in the heads you got?

You will see most of your hp gain from the cams. I don't think that I gained much hp (yet) from the porting on the heads I bought. I think it's because of running the stock PI cams.


As far as degreeing them, you can get crank gears but they only go in 2* increments. The adjustable cam gears are a better option but more costly as you know. You will also need the specs of the cams to know where to set them at.


On the valve covers I assume you got 11 bolt romeo heads and the other ones are 13 bolt windsor heads. I'd try the local junkyards for a set, someone's got to have them.
