My repair guy says i have a bad coil in my 08 Ford Edge. 130,000. Should i have all of them replaced these are the original how much should I pay having a mechanic replace?
Said engine has all original coils except on 1 cylinder. It failed last summer. Replace 1 at a time.
Under the Valve covers @395,000 miles Nissan Xterra VQ40
I finally got around to fixing the very leaky valve cover gaskets on my 395,000 mile Nissan Xterra. I bought this vehicle new in 2008 and I have always ran this on conventional or semi synthetic following approximately the factory recommended 3,750 OCI. Latest few runs have been on Chevron...bobistheoilguy.com
Hint - old plugs are hard on coils, so if you replace your plugs on time your coils will last longer.
That's good to know.Not with Fords.....I replace more Ford Coils than any other marque combined.
Like Tim said......The Ignitors are built into the ECM where most GM vehicles for example have the Ignitors built into the Coils & have little chance of a bad coil harming the ECM.
I would just change the faulty one. Doesn't mean the others are bad or about to fail, I would leave the others alone.. I would make sure the new one is Motorcraft.My repair guy says i have a bad coil in my 08 Ford Edge. 130,000.

Do you know when Ford started doing this?Not with Fords.....I replace more Ford Coils than any other marque combined.

That is a very unusual situation, but also one that could happen to many vehicles that have a constant misfire due to the coil failing.Thanks for all the reply. I'm going to try replacing the bad one. All the plugs. And do research on the risk of the cat conv situation.
Thanks again.
