Anyone had any luck replacing coils with anything other than Motorcraft?
I replaced my 01 F150 5.4cu in with aftermarket 3 years ago and only 10k miles driven. My truck started missing and kicking and bucking while driving. I’m afraid that it’s gonna cause more issues if I don’t get this corrected soon.
Truck runs fine until it warms up then starts acting up.
Not sure it’s the coils or not, there are no codes at all. Puzzled.

 

A defective coil can take out a part of the PCM and constant replacing of coils will not result in an effective repair. This is where good diagnostic background and experience can save a lot of unnecessary work and $$, not to overlook having the right equipment to chase down the root cause.

This opens another can of worms, certain parts need to be programmed to complete a repair.
Could have the right part , a good part, but if follow up required programming is not done , the repair is not complete.
If it was only all that easy !!!
