Will the CEL always come on when u have a coil failing? If it always does i think my tranny is slipping because it sometimes jerks but only once in a while. And my CEL has never came on. Thanks for the help.
My dealer told me it's a one time only customer satisfaction warranty whether you get one or all eight. I just lost 2 coils at 83,000 miles on my '03 LS8. I bought them out of pocket because of what I was told. I was planning on waiting 'till I have four dead coils or 99,999 miles before I warranty mine. If it's not one time, I'm just wasting my money.Up to you. I have mine done one at a time since they're covered for 10 years/100k by Ford.
The coil quality was never the problem. The problem was faulty valve cover gaskets that leaked oil into them causing failure.
My CEL isn't on. Should take it to the shop to see which coil is failing or just replace them all? $140 on ebay
What do the valve cover gaskets cost? I think I am going to need to get them, I have noticed that after the car warms up I see smoke coming from under the hood. Opened the hood and it looks like the smoke is coming from below, maybe leaking from the valve cover gasket and leaking onto the exhaust.
I also opened the oil fill after I turned the car off and noticed smoke coming from out of there too, im not sure but is that normal?
