Coils failing

I'm slowly loosing my coils 1 by 1, it's a 2001 V10 with 80,000miles. Is there an after maket for these coils, as its costing me a fortune. Does anybody have a part #.
Thanks

Phoney,

I encourage you to support the advertisers on FTE, but I've also seen the COPs on eBay for cheap..

I guess COPs stands for Coil on/over Plug?
I just needed to know what to look for, they are $142 CDN ($112 USD) here in Ottawa.

Phoney,

Yup, "Coil-On-Plug." $142 for how many?

Hello.

Find a parts house that carries "Standard" brand ign parts. They are just as good as OEM and cost about $60 US.

Im sure what V10MARS stated is what the dealer used since it was a whole new coil wire an not a repair job. Which at 60$ would leave them there shop fee, making it a 100$. Either way im a happy camper as long as a plug dont go shooting out...lol.

Thats the only reason i took it to the dealer, because i did'nt want flying plugs! These are CDN prices but after 4 replacements, + labour + diagnostic, i'm getting shafted!!!

Phoney,

Good luck with your eBay bid, I've seen good deals on "eight-packs" there. I guess those of us V10s will just have to buy a couple singles!

Yep. The early ones (Standard) even had the Ford PN stamped on them.
Plugs should be ok, but I would replace them anyway. We have a lot of 5.4/6.8 COP in our fleet. 80,000~90,000 seems to be the norm here in Florida before they start to fail. If the unit has more than 75,000 when the fisrt one fails I have my techs replace plugs and all. (Our units get lots of idle time.)

My first coil failure was at 176,000. Had another about 3 mos. ago at 186,000. In my E-350 V-10.

My son had 2 go bad at 38,000 in his 2001 5.4 F-150, and 2 went bad in his 2002 supercrew 5.4 F-150 at 85,000
