Replacing the ignition coils in a 2000 Ford Expedition. This process should be very similar for any Ford using the 5.4l engine including the F-150.

I discovers that denso is who makes the coil packs for for and they only
cost 22 dollars each. They put a label over the bottom numbers and filed
off the upper ones so they can sell them as denso
It was great to watch that video, made it look so simple thank you. One
question what is the name to the grease? changing the coil packs will help
run better to?
You really helped us with replacing the coil on our 2000 Expedition, solved
our misfire problem and saved us a day of sitting in some mechanic’s garage
for a day of skiing instead! Thanks a million Mr. Reinsmith!
Thank you for youre coil installation.
I am trying to replace the #2 coil and the plug. But I am having some
troubles to do what you done with the heating hoses, and open enough room.
Have you removed one of them? Thanks
This was great. Thank you for taking the initiative to record this video.
No problem. Glad I could help! Good luck!
Thanks, that worked. Turned out that was changing the wrong coil because I
thought the cylinders on the left were 1,3,5,7. instead of 1,2,3,4. What I
found useful was unbolting the Fuel Injector Bar to make room when
inserting the new coil. I also broke a clip and used a tie strap to lock it
in place. This was my 4th coil replacement, thankfully 3 were on the left
side. Thanks again.
what i would do is take coil that the codes said was bad. and move to to a
different position then move the other one back to where the suspected bad
coil was. clear codes. drive for 30 miles or so. if the/when the CEL comes
back on run codes and see if the misfire moved to the other cylinder. Good
luck!
This was a perfect video. I just replaced #2 coil pack in my 1998
Navigator. I need to change #4 but I’m not sure on how to unplug certain
plugs. Then I’m not sure one how to plug them back up. But what a great
help this video was. You should do one on what to unplug to get to the #4
coil and how to hook them back up…lol lol lol
THANK YOU for making this video… By far the best video on how to replace
the ignition coil. I was just about to pay someone to do this for me and
now I can do it myself. Luckily its the 7th cylinder thats bad in mine so I
wont have to go blind like you did. Again, AWESOME video, thank you so much
for sharing!
Thank you so much! I have searched and searched for a Cylinder 4 video and
this is the only one worth watching! Going to fix mine now! By the way,
there was a SERVICE BULLETIN put out by Ford to double clamp the heater
hose that travels on top of Cylinder 4 on the F-150’s. That hose leaks and
causes Cylinder 4 to short out and misfire. Hope this helped someone!
I have a question. When I turn the key over my car wont start but the radio
turns on and everything else works. Behind the fuse box there is a loud
buzzing noise. I was able to hit the fuse box earlier and then turn it
over, but now it wont turn over at all. Any Ideas?
My 2003 expedition read misfire on #3. I hope it’s as easy as you made it
seem. Thanks.
Change the ignition coil for my F150. The truck won’t start. The PATS light
is blinking and the key is acting like un programmed key. I tried another
programmed key (it used to work) but didn’t work. Any advise will be
appreciated
I don’t think that would be the coils, The engine will usually run with one
or even two coils down. I would go out and post your symptoms on the forums
@ ford-trucks . com
1st cylinder in the front on the driver side
Test the coils one by one. Running the engine, unplug the connector from
each one. If the engine starts to slump then that means that ignition coil
is GOOD. if there is no change in engine when you remove the connector,
then that means that the ignition coil is suspect (not firing).
I am just changing one coil and one spark plug, just the one that is
misfiring.Is that okay also to just change one plug? Thank you vary much,
oh and is it necessary to use the grease?
Would it be smart to go ahead and change the spark plug while you are
removing the coil?
Where would I find cylinder 6 and 8 on a 1999 lincoln navigator? Would it
be the 2nd and 4th from front on the driver’s side?
Been looking for bolts for my ignition coil…heard you say 7mm but what
are the other specs. Can’t seem to find it anywhere
it is
Excellent video and good camera man! I have a 5.4L 2001 and have replaced a
Fuel Injector and 2 Coils and just got another P0303. How can you tell that
the misfire is due to a failed coil opposed to a injector?
yes, it’s OK to just change the one plug while you are in there. I would
definitely dielectric grease. It not only improves the connection but keeps
out moisture as well. You can usually get it in small packets at your auto
parts store.
I also have a 2000 ford expedition 5.4 l. I have a sluggish take off on
first gear and thought it was tranny. Changed fluid and filter on it still
doing same thing. Thinking it is ignitioin coil as it idles very low when
in park but does not backfire or has engine light on. Could it be something
different.? Thanks for the video.
Yes, and make sure to get the Motorcraft plugs (the OEM for ford)
Fuel filter is a good place to start, but it could also be the fuel pump or
an electrical problem. Try talking it over with the people in the forums at
ford-trucks . com.
where is cylinder number 5 on a 2003 f150 5.4?????????????email me at
mightyrooferjon@aol.com
not to be a jack ass or anything, but the video would be better if you
would change out the cylinder 1 ignition coil on video and change out 4 on
your own time. lol
yes
I over righted it, now I got a crazy shaking on my engine, I think in going
to glue together.
great video ! followed your steps and it turns out the cable from the
ignition coil was disconected, either way thank you
you might have a bad fuel pump. I replaced mine did the same thing what you
wrote. replaced it started right up.
You’re Welcome! Glad it was helpful
Dude u r the man for making this vid I got code for #2 cylinder change the
coil and put a new plug never done it before thanks homie
Yeah, is done an my expedition now she has a happy butt again… XD
Our expedition had a ignition coil And it starts to feel sluggish when
accelerating like dududududu like kinda shaking at your feet
i believe its called niggarigg
Very helpful, thank you! Coil numbers are 1 thru 4 on passenger bank from
fan to firewall. 5 thru 8 on driver side from fan to firewall. If fuel rail
is removed and does not go back on correctly the orings are stuck in rail,
remove and place back on injector tops. Rail should line back up smoothly.
Thanks for sharing. I replaced all my coil packs except those back two.
Gonna save those for after my root canal. They sure don’t make it easy.
Thanks for the video, i have a 97 Expedition with the 4.6L and i need to
get to the 2 rear coils, i have a random missfire but no CEL, it happens
sometimes when i go up hill or on heavy loads and i checked the other coils
and the seem to be fine (after changing #1, 3, and 6.) i hope its the coil
and not the plugs because they are a b…. to get to.
