Runs fine on stock factory tune.

Psychotiq Member 37 Member For: 14y 5m 15d Gender: Male Location: QLD Posted 10/09/11 06:42 AM Share Posted 10/09/11 06:42 AM well gave this a crack today, Number 1 and 2 gave me no problems, but the rest of the coils would NOT come out, after trying for 5min with coil 3 the top of the coil came off with the spring from inside still attached, and the body was still down the shaft attached to the spark plug, scared me, so threw it back in, and only got to change 2 of the 6. Not sure why the top broke off, but I think I'll leave it for my next upcoming service. I don't want something to happen.

Try not to pull to fast as the spring may stretch which isnt a biggy but keeping iot the same would be better. Try WD40 or INOX soften the rubbers from the alloy head.

discostig Manual mode ________________________ All day, erryday Donating Members 13,798 Member For: 17y 7m 12d Gender: Male Location: Probably above atmospheric pressure Posted 19/08/12 02:35 PM Share Posted 19/08/12 02:35 PM (edited) Had a breeze of a time changing coils and plugs for the first time ever today thanks to the guide, good on ya. Hardest part was getting the crossover off and I've done that I don't know how many times now while doing general service.#6 plug wasn't even that hard, though I couldn't fit my universal joint in there as it is too wide, had to go with assembling the extensions while in the hole as described. Think I'll buy a low range torque wrench though so I know they are done up to spec, 1/4 turn after it started to tighten felt pretty tight on a couple so I didn't push it all the way.Fingers crossed these VDO coils dont' sh!t themselves too quickly.Went with genuine Motorcraft SK20R7 (0.7mm) plugs as seen on left here. Used plugs are probably at least 140,000km - never changed since I bought her so possibly 170,000km.
