Cop's

What do you all think of the aftermarket COPs available on ebay. 89 for 8 compared to 339 for 8 motorcraft brand is a big difference...any input?

I have heard to many bad things about those COP's. I would go to NAPA, National Auto, Advanced Auto, etc and get them thru one of those places. I got one at National Auto in December and it was around $30.00

NAPA sells an Echlin brand COP. Seems to work great. No issues so far anyway.

I have gotten 2 at Pep Boys, so far. One has been on the truck now for over 2 years with no issues. Cost, I think, was around $37 with the boot attached.

Good luck with those Accel COPs when you finish your plug install, thats when they usually cause the trouble.

Echlin is the best I've been able to find. Even the exterior construction looks superior to even the stock pieces.

perhaps a more suitable question would be do you all think COP's are my problem. All new filters etc, still a misfire in it unless i really get on it hard. Misfire is only when im going up hills at lower rpms. Kind of at a loss on this one and hate to dump all this money into cops if its indeed not them. thanks again!

That does sound like an ignition misfire.

Our new Ford COP’s, the Sultans of Spark(S.O.S.), have
been designed with both durability and performance in mind.
Please see them at:

http://www.performancedistributors.com/soscoils.htm

Quality was the main feature we stressed when we went to the
drawing board on these coils.
By the way, for those of you who only need to replace a defective coil,
our SOS Coils are available separately.

"Performance" COPs net you nothing. The stock coils put out more voltage than the plugs will ever need. What I do when I encounter a misfire is first, check the boots. If even one looks at all spongy, replace them all. $12 shipped on ebay. Next, buy one COP and replace #1 COP with the new one. If it doesn't cure it, take the known "good" coil you removed from #1 and move it to #2... And so on, until the misfire goes away. If this doesn't work, and I have had this happen before, change the plugs. I had one go bad once before and you couldn't tell it was bad by looking at it. I say to try an new COP first because one COP is cheaper than 10 spark plugs for a V10.

A lot easier to just have the codes pulled and change the bad one the first time!!! A code can be (and will be) set without turning on the CEL. Code reader has been a part of my tool inventory for a very long time now....Lots easier than running to AZ everytime.
