Spark Plug Wires

[eric obrecht 2]

I rencently had my 60k service. Got truck back, had rough idle and acceleration problem. Took it back, they tell me:



a) I may need new spark plug wires ($205.00 installed WTF)

b) "theres a power problem," go see Ford about your distributor...



Pisses me off, the truck seemed fine before, now-despite their fix-Im still having a rough idle and not so smooth acceleration....



Anyhow, does 200 and change sound right for new spark pluig wires?

Do it yourself.



Distributor? The 4.0L SOHC has never had a distributor. It has a coil pack.



Who did the 60K service? I am approaching 60,000 miles. I figure my service will be checking if it starts. If it does, it passes the test.

I'll change your plug wires for $200!



Better make sure they give you some Vaseline for that!

Did you clean your IAC? Common issue with our Tracs. Seems to solve most idle issues...

Chack you IAC, MAF and even the DPFE sensor for rough idling and engine miss problems. As for the wires, you can buy top-shelf aftermarket wiresets for around $70. I used Jacobs wires on mine with Autolite Double Platinum plugs and did it myself for around $100.
