Accel COPs
Several months ago I replaced all my coils on my 2003 5.4L F150 with Accel COPs. Things worked fine for about 3 days and then I got a P0305 code and the engine started missing. I took the truck to the dealer and he put a test coil in there and let me keep it until I was sure the Accel coil was the problem. Truck ran fine so I exchanged the Accel coil for a new one. That was about 6 months ago. Last week I went back to the dealer and had him take out his coil and put my new Accel coil in. I didn't even drive 5 miles and the truck started missing again. Yesterday I ordered a Motorcraft OEM coil from tascafordparts.com at 50% less than retail. It came today on UPS. This time I took out the Accel coil and put the Motorcraft in myself - it was the #5 cylinder which is in the front so it's pretty simple to do. And the truck runs fine. So for me, I'll stick with Motorcraft - especially at 50% off!
