    Spark plug resistance comparison

    On this chart I showed the readings from motorcraft, Taylor and cheap duralast (AutoZone) wires. I found the high resistance of the duralast wires was causing a very hard to diagnose idle missfire. These readings are in thousands of ohms. I inspected the plugs, no indication of fouling with 270k...

    New Wires and Plugs, Will not turn Over

    Hi all I’m new to the forum and I’m happy I found y’all because a lot of older posts have already answered my other questions. I put in a new coil, spark plug wires and spark plugs in my 1999 Ford Explorer XLT, 4.0 OHV. The stock plugs were heavily corroded and rusted along with the wiring...

    No Spark on Rebuilt 4.0

    Howdy, so I've become relatively well versed with the 4.0 SOHC, I ripped one out of my brother's sport trac (2001) and I put it in my sport trac (also 2001). Mine had the very very common timing chain issue where they simply get loose and also my transmission was barely staying into gear on the...

    2007 Ford Explorer blowing fuse #43 (coil) when accelerating

    Hi everybody! My 2007 Ford Explorer XLT (6 cyl, 114k miles) often blows fuse #43 when I accelerate hard or medium-hard from a stop -- causing the coil to lose power and the vehicle to stall, often in a busy intersection, which is fun. I can go a few days without blowing a fuse if I accelerate...
