Hello all. New member here. I have a '01 Lincoln LS, 3.9L-V8, 70K miles, and am in the process of dropping the 3rd of 8 COP ignition coils in the last 5k miles. It is my understanding that this is common with this engine at this age. I don't want to drop another $400 at the dealer, especially if this is going to happen, presumably, 5 more times. I have a good OBD-II scanner, but presently am not getting the expected p03XX trouble code, so that I can ID the bad cylinder number. I understand that there is a threshold value in the misfire counter before it triggers a DTC, so I am waiting to accumulate the necessary misfires. Is there another way? Is there a way to access the raw misfire count prior to a DTC?
A related question: I understand that the cylinder number arrangement changed in 2002. I would like to confirm the pre-2002 arrangement. I have it #1 thru #4 front-to-rear on the passenger side, and #5 thru #8 front-to-rear on the driver's side. Can anyone confirm? Thanks!
