Last week my car through a code that ended up being the COP number 8 (OR H)so I replaced it and all the spark plugs while i was at it. So I drove it 400 miles with no problem now its really messing up. My car was litterly putting into the parking lot at work. I had to get it towed home. I got it home and put the code reader on it and said that i had 4 COPs that went bad! I was like wtf. so i check them by putting them on a different connector( FOR INSTANCE I PUT NUMBER 3(or C) COIL ON NUMBER 2's(or B) SPOT AND THE COIL WAS WORKING AND I DID IT FOR ALL OF THEM AND ALL THE COPS WERE WORKING WHEN I PUT IT ON A DIFFERENT PLUG) so whats not working its the wiring harness that plugs into the COP. The coils that it said werent working were: C, F, G, H, ( NOW REMEMBER I JUST REPLACE H). so after moving them all around i put everything together and tried to start the car hoping it would work and again it ran like only half the engine was firing. Now i did alot of research and know lincolns coils go bad alot but i tested all my coils and they all work. So i know when the car goes into failsafe mode that it shuts down some of the COPs because its telling it that its over heating. BUT WHAT SENSOR TELLS THE COMPUTER TO GO INTO FAIL SAFE MODE?? I heard the cylinder head sensor or the coolant temp sensor? I mean its weird how 4 out of the 8 cop connectors are working and there in random positions.
