2nd Gen V6 was going into failsafe mode with throttle body codes, replacing the throttle body did not fix the issue. It did turn out to be a coil as several here had suggested. It was the rearmost one on the driver side ;) woo-hoo!, did not have to pull the intake. There was a tiny bit of oil...

Any my point was that the Ranger is RWD just like the LS and does not have the intake in the way of the plugs. I did not know that the LS engine was also used in FWD cars as joegr pointed out. Anway it is what it is, my apologies for ruffling any feathers. Happy 4th to all.

Found a part number for the Jag 3.0L in another thread, I'm guessing that this is the same part, can anyone confirm that? thx

I had a Ford 4WD full size truck that had the input shaft to the steering gear box break on me turning into a business. I had no control what so ever at that point, steering wheel just spun around freely. I rolled through the parking lot and off into the grass, did not hit anything. If that...

Yep, ranger is RWD, I never said anything to the contrary. I understood the post just fine. LS4me was trying to tell me that all V6's have to have the intake removed like the LS to change the coils and that is just not correct.

does anyone have a ford part number for this? Trying to find a source for them either locally or mail order and coming up empty. Want to replace them while I have the intake off for coils. thanks,

Ignore that part, I figured out that it does not apply to my 03 since it is a Gen II

I'm about to pull the upper intake on the LS V6 for coil replacement. It's throwing TB codes, but a new TB did not fix the issue. Coils and VCG's are about 15K miles old. While I've got it apart I want to check replace whatever makes sense during this repair so that this will be a dependable...

Agreed. You make some very valid points, Telco. Everything in a design in my world is a compromise between weight, power draw and performance. Nothing comes for free and that is before the front office gets involved.

Yes and you may also need valve cover gaskets if there is any oil in there. Also there seems to be a consensus that the motorcraft coils/plugs are the only way to go.

If it sounds too good to be true.... :)

It says in item specifics: Brand: Motorcraft Placement on Vehicle: Front Manufacturer Part Number: 2W4Z12029AB Warranty: Yes Interchange Part Number: 2W4Z-12029-AC Part Brand: Motorcraft Other Part Number: 2W4Z 12029 AB

By the way, my LS is rear wheel drive, let me know if you need help understanding the difference. And my Ford Ranger V6 does not require one to remove the intake to change the spark plugs, so you might want to check up on that like all V6 thing between naps. How is the weather there on the...

Thanks, I am going to put the OEM ones on the passenger side since it is a pain to have to remove the intake. I'm also going to try to rig up something with my oscope and a function generator to test the ones that I have as a science project.

My Ph.D in electrical engineering is working out fine for me, better than the boys at Lincoln. I test missile systems that would never function if the boys at Lincoln worked on them. How's ur job at McDonalds?

I understand what you are saying and I don't dispute the evidence that this vehicle is finicky. However, I cannot believe that all other parts are crap. For instance Autocraft did not make the COPs on my jeep which has seen much rougher duty and more miles than the Lincoln and never had an...

The OEM stuff isn't all that great on this POS car.

I don't think that trying to repair something on a budget is cheap, but thank you for your helpful comment. If I had unlimited funds, I would give this Lincoln POS to a local charity and buy a dependable vehicle.

I wish I knew how to stress test them. This was a hand me down car for my daughter that has turned into a money pit. I have never owned a more problematic vehicle. I am probably going to swap them out again and get rid of the car once it is running. Whatever idiot at ford that decided to...
