Coil Pack

Looks like DG530 is the correct motorcraft number but how often is it that only one cylinder would die with no spark? My number 4 has absolutely no spark and when I switch the wire with an adjacent coil it has spark. I was under the impression that the entire pack would pop not just one individual coil.... Unfortunately it is Sunday (of course) and no dealers are open. Probably going to get an Echlin pack from Napa (no thx on Borg Warner) as I need the vehicle today. Any experience/thoughts on Echlin? Motor is a 4.6 btw.

Echlin is decent quality stuff. I'll take that over a Duralast any day.

If you must have a Motorcraft O'Reilly may have them, but they are over 100 bucks.

Unfortunately, he said he needed it same day.

These aren't coil on plug - these are coil packs, 2 of them, 4 cylinders each.

I've had the coil pack go out twice on my V-6, and each time only 1 cylinder was affected.

Ya it said the Echlin was a "Made in USA" product on the box which makes me feel a whole lot better. Ya I would have gone Motorcraft if I didn't need it same day and it wasn't a friggin Sunday but oh well. Seemed to fix the problem though truck runs like a top again. I just think its a funny joke that it always seems to be #4 cylinder and couldn't be #1 this time lol. Thanks for all the help guys you make this forum worth its weight in gold.
