Today I went to a Lincoln dealership for V-8 coils, and the # on the top of the coil(s) is 2W4E-12A366-BD, then a 7C2993.
I decided to go and pull out the remaining coils (#6 and #7) and plugs.
Get this, the remaining 2 coils I pulled were different from the old off-brand ones that I pulled. Better yet, the part # was ground out (looks like the work of a good dremel guy) on both coils.
I see a 6C2423 on this suspect coil that they didn't grind out. The coils look brand new, and it doesn't look like either were firing.
I couldn't get the car to start and now I really wonder if the coils are now truly the reason to blame.
My question is, and I think the answer is yes, are the coils between a V-6 and V-8 different? I get the feeling that they had some OEM coils, but they were for a V-6, and figured it was a lady who owned the car and wouldn't know the difference.
