wayne 75 Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 How can I tell if my coil pack is packing up when I go to pull away the revs fluctuate and lurches forward the same when I reverse I have changed spark plugs and HT leads or might it be some thing else Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeebowhite Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 Hi Wayne, Coil Pack is one issue, I would say try tightening up the HT leads first, and if that fails, then you will probably need to replace the coils and the HT leads...

Ford Loyalty MK3 Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 Hi there and welcome, it does sound like a coil pack issure, but play it safe and get a OBD reader to check what the fault is. Hope you sort it out m8. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rsturbonut Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 Yep, common issue with the coil packs. Get ecu read to confirm misfire. We usually fit coil pack, leads and plugs as standard with these types of misfires as most of the time none of the above have ever been changed so best to do them all as parts degrade over time anyway...

Paul mann Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 Change plugs but set gap to 1 mm instead of the standard 1.3 ...secret ford fault...seems over time the gap will widen and this can cause misfire and coil failure.... Try it could save you a fortune changing coils and leads...worked for me...good luck...it's easy to get carried away and looking at expensive options like ECU ?
