Right i have done a favour for a mate and had a look at his focus which is running on three cylinders.

Checked it over and there is no spark at the actual coil pack end of the lead to no 4 cylinder...Is this a comman thing with them?


How much will he expect to pay for a new coilpack or could it be something else?

Thanks for any ideas

 

coilpacks are very commong things to go on foci yes!! think they are around £60 iirc

 

£60 notes aint to bad i supose, maybe try ebay...the guys an old fella and has just had a stroke was trying to do him a favour....He will shit the bed when i tell him £60 notes....

 

i may be wrong but i think thats wat they are new from frauds!

 

try burton power got one from them for my focus zetec £ 50, or try a breakers in the back of the auto trader can pick up a good one from a late focus for around £ 20.

 

Yeah was gona have a ride out to a few breakers tomorrow...

Thanks for replies lads,looks like its coilpack next to try...

very common thing to give misfiring problems!!!!

 

anytime theres a missfire on number 4 on a focus its THE COIL PACK< NEVER LEADS !!!!!

part number is 1317972 from fords and is 32.50 trade including vat

IF you dont get it done as soon as the management light comes on and carry on buzzing about on 3 cylinders you will fuck the honeycombe on the cat aswell,,,,, lifes a bitch aint it

people try plugs and leads first but if its number for just change the coil pack !!!!

number 4 lead is the shortest one !, its a coil pack design fault !!!!

 

ps: we dont do that many at fords,,,, thats why i know the part number off by heart

 

How can it run on 3 cylinders with wasted spark?
