I changed the plugs in my 230000 mile 2000 AWD Explorer. Truck was running ok, but I knew it had a bunch of miles on the plugs. Original wires I think, they have 1999 printed on them.
The old plugs were Autolite 764s, I installed APP 104s, and the truck idles much smoother, but when you rev it up, you get a snapping,clicking noise from the coil pak area. Thinking maybe I cracked a plug, I picked up a set of Motorcraft SP 432s today and put them in, the noise was a little better but still there.
Could I have broken a wire? It idles really smooth, and I don't see and arcing in the dark.
Are any of the aftermarket sets at Autozone any good? I don't want to spend $150 for a Motorcraft set for this old a truck.
I was planning on taking it to Ocracoke this weekend, and am scared to drive it with this noise, which seems to be at its worst around 2000 rpm,
Thanks
