So I started the job this morning. still couldnt locate wires. QC didnt have wires in stock. Sunrise ford didnt have wires in stock. 90$ and order. I told em I could order em from autozone for half that. Try carquest they say. O.K.
carquest doesnt have em in stock but can get em by noon. O.K. 50$ O.K. go home ,change plugs 4,5,and6. need a 1/4 drive ratchet to remove air intake to get to back bank. Will get one from car quest at noon.
Go pick up my plug wires at noon. Wrong ones. Computer is goofed,they ordered wires for a 99. NON duratec I think. 70 bucks to order the right ones. wont get there till monday. Nah Ill wait. Check some other places this week.
Well I go home and reconect the old wires. Figure Ill hold off on taking the air intake off till I get the CORRECT wires,so I dont change the plugs in thwe back bank. Car runs good. Went to auto zone and had the code removed. Went for a 30 mile drive. drove normal,and drove a little WOT. Car runs good. No new codes as of yet.
The old plugs were autolite platinumes gapped at over .060 The new plugs in are autolite DOUBLE platinum gapped at the correct .055.
Could that have been my problem? If I dont get a code this week, next weekend I will change the plugs on the back bank. Otherwise I guess Ill have to order that 70$ wire set.
I dunno.
