I washed my engine on my 2004 Ford F150. I thinks the coil packs shorted out cause now it doesn't stay running. Would that cause the problem?

I don't believe so, it would be very odd for all 8 coils to fail at once. It will run if only a couple of coils failed. It may be another electrical coponet that is failing.

None that I could tell... At least I didn't get any warranty info with the coils. But they work, and they're 1/4th the cost of buying other coils for the fit. Go for it! (installed over a year and 18k miles ago and still runs perfectly)

I would check for spark first, a simple test for this would be unscrewing the spark plug while connected the putting the against a piece of metal if you see sparks consistently then the coil is good and it most likely is a fuel delivery problem. This one way work I would mesaure and make sure the screw holes line up otherwise you may need to machine new holes. hope this helps.

I taped it together Ford holes are deep. Make sure piston is down and out of the way. I used grease on tap and then used a 1' piece of rubber hose on the end of air nozzle to blow out any shavings missed. Then stared engine with plug out let run for 30 seconds just to be sure. Worked well still running strong.

Is this fire a Tahoe, avalanche or f150? I replace this party in all of them. If it's for the f150 it fixed my problem of no blower motor blowing at all.

I don't see this being a problem at all while the washer is in use. However, it looks like hanging the hose from the handle while the engine was hot could cause it to make contact with the hot exhaust manifold.

I bought this product, but my mechanic installed it on the first (pre-catalytic) / to the engine side. :(So it didn't work, anyhow before trying this I recommend cleaning the sensors with WD-40 With the battery Un-plugged , and after 10 minutes hanging to dry re-screw them back in

The coil is in the boot that slides over the spark plug. The number of coil packs you need are dependent on number of cylinders your engine has. You do not need to change all at the same time. Usual they fail one at a time but I notice they tend to start failing in multiples around the same time.

Did it get too hot and electrically shut down. Contact the Manufacturer, they have "troubleshooters", who could give you an answer, once they get "all" the facts from you. I can't offer much more. Sometimes there are answers, if you "google" the problem. It works with auto and plumbing problems. Good luck!

This engine worked great when I installed it, but when I tried to use it after sitting for a few months, it'd start and run for 5 or so seconds and kill. Gas has aStabilizer in it but I haven't been able to figure out the problem as of yet.

Had just the opposite in my 2002 GMC Sierra (running lean) ran great for about two months after replacing.....then intake manifold blew out....are you having to put in anti freeze every so often? this was a common problem with GMC and Chevrolet..traded my truck..too expensive to repair and 11 years of Pennsylvania weather began to take a toll......

If it has the Chinese engine ( called the "Snow King"not the Briggs) check the head gasket bolts and make sure it is not leaking oil from the head.Ours did this at 3 uses and it turned out everything was wet with engine oil. After 2 unsuccessful repairs by a lousy dealer, we paid 250 dollars to an independent guy who properly torqued the head and loaded it with locktite. So far so good. If anyone wants this machine be careful to spend extra for the US made motor. The Chicoms have apparently not figured out how to make a good motor.

Taken mine trucks (have 2 F-150's) regularly through the car wash and never experienced a problem. I've found this to be a great product. Highly recommended.

My intake went bad under the thermostat but it leaked coolant and shorted out my coil. There was no way the oil and anti freeze could mix there. You might have 2 separate problems. If you're doing the intake I would go all the way and replace the head gaskets too.

You should make sure they are the right ones for your vehicle. They I believe 2 or 3 different one for that year. Some of the coils have round heads and some have square or they have longer boots that connect to the top of the plug. To much space between the boot and the plug will cause misfire or wrongs specs will too.

Hmm, as i know there are 2 kinds of coils, the diffrence to look would be the angle of the coil boot. Check for original OEM code.

My car would start and run and when the enging got warm, the engine would shut off automatically. If you are trying to remotely cool your car, you dont want the enging shutting off.
