COIL REPLACEMENT

[BOBBYK]

I'VE BEEN HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM AS MANY ON THIS SITE, IE NOT GETTING FULL RPM'S. 1986 V-150.
I ASSUMED IT WAS FUEL RELATED. DONE ALL THE THINGS SUGGESTED ON THIS SITE. I BELIEVE IT IS A BAD COIL. PULLED THE SPARK PLUG LEADS ONE AT A TIME. RAN ROUGH EACH TIME EXCEPT FOR # 6. SEEMS LIKE IT IS NOT GETTING SPARK. MY QUESTION IS, I AM GOING TO REPLACE THE COIL. IS IT THAT SIMPLE AS JUST REPLACING THE COIL, OR ARE THERE OTHER THINGS THAT WILL NEED TO BE DONE AFTER REPLACEMENT, SUCH AS RESETTING THE TIMING, ETC.

if you insist that it is a coil, just swap one from another cylinder and see if the problem follows the coil.

Bobby,
Changing out any of the coils will not affect the timing.
Good luck [img]smile.gif[/img] ,
