    Somewhat rough idle ? (NO NOT COIL)

    Thanks, it probably is as you say. I'm just really picky I guess and like things to be at least mechanically perfect. But until it gets worse, I guess I need to stop thinking about it..... Thanks for the insight, helps a lot when I'm not thinking outside the box. The coils will have to wait...

    Somewhat rough idle ? (NO NOT COIL)

    Well, I'll just have to let it play out. I've reset the KAM and swapped around coils multiple times and everything seemed fine. I'll just have to wait and see if it gets worse probably. I hope there isn't an internal problem, but I do know where to get two gen II v8's... Thanks for the help...

    Somewhat rough idle ? (NO NOT COIL)

    I do understand how these work, but I don't have a cheap ohm meter, it does a lot of reading. I get about the high voltage break down and how it fails. I don't know where to get an oscilloscope to use and I'm still not sure if it's on the Solus Pro.

    Somewhat rough idle ? (NO NOT COIL)

    I actually don't have an oscilloscope. Could you use a good OHM meter or should I buy an oscilloscope? Also, I don't think the Solus does that, it may need an extra accessory... I don't really know.

    Somewhat rough idle ? (NO NOT COIL)

    It doesn't have IAC? I actually never looked and just assumed it did. I'm thinking about doing compression on each cylinder, I just hate taking the cams out... It gets old taking those valve covers off..... How could it be a bad coil if I drove with it, heavy acceleration, and watched the...

    Somewhat rough idle ? (NO NOT COIL)

    Yeah, I would think that. But like I said, I'm able to look at the misfire counts with the scanner. Since the two coil's have been replaced, no misfires. I thought about the EGR as well, but you are exactly right on the CEL will pop up IMMEDIATELY if there is an error. My F-150 has had the...

    Somewhat rough idle ? (NO NOT COIL)

    Hello, I have an 04 V8 with 132k on it. I just recently purchased it less than a month ago and have been working it out. I had an 00 V8 prior so I know a lot of the problems with the V8. Here's what I've done: New Motorcraft plugs Replaced two coils that were bad Siliconed all boots...

    Question(s) about wheels that has never been asked - guarenteed or your money back!

    The airbag's do that. My 04 LS has that as well. BTW It is a whole assembly for the airbag to my knowledge. You can't just "take" the face off.

    HELP!! LS V8 engine noise

    On the modular's it is VERY common for a bad timing tensioner. I've not had to tear my 3.9l apart but I think I know what sound that you are talking about. Try to use a good filter as suggested (Motorcraft(same as >>>), Purolator, Wix, K&N, etc...).... Also try some BG MOA. It is made by BG...

    P0420, P0430, P0307 Are the CAT's bad???

    I'm pretty sure that's the one I checked. Once I get the cat's done and new rear O2 then good to go I think. I think the cats are a little clogged as well.

    P0420, P0430, P0307 Are the CAT's bad???

    Okay, thank you. Is the #7 misfire coil or real? Maybe from CAT problem. I JUST bought it a week ago, fairly cheap due to problems. I suspect the old owner drove it with problems. Considering the VCG leaked, had Champion RC12YC!!!! plugs in it(ridiculous!!), and a bad coil. I owned a F250 V10 so...

    P0420, P0430, P0307 Are the CAT's bad???

    Hello all, I have a 2000 LS V8 and I'm getting these codes. I just replaced VCG's, plugs, and one coil. What else could be bad? The 420 and 430 are cat below threshold... I assume the cats are bad are they not? I check #7 and the coil is good. Any help is much appreciated, thanks! Also, can...
