On the 4.6 you should be able to disconnect the coils by the pigtale without takeing the coil out… do one at a time..if theres no noticable diffrence change the coil.. and while yur there may as well change the plug

[Ron]

Thanks Eric, i didnt catch this video before i dove in and heres what went down!
1..i took the plastic covers off and the 4th cly was the only cly that didnt come up on my scanner…so i switched 4 and 5 then deleted the codes and whent for a drive
2.. i re scanned to see that the 5th cly was now the only one not misfireing

3.. i ran the car and disconnected the 4th coil plug and nothing changed,,,

4 i then disconnected the 5 th coil and boom.. it ran rougher

5.. i replaced the 1 coil that didnt have any running effect with a new one

6.. erased the codes

7 re test drove and it runs perfect and no more codes 🙂

total time 1 hr and 70$ for the part

WITH DETERMINATION AND DIRTY HANDS I BRING TO YOU THE RESULT OF MY STUPIDITY!!

BACK STORY
I INSTALLED AN ENGING I PURCHASED FROM A USED PARTS PLACE IT HAD LOW KMS.. LONG STORY SHORT THE BLOCK HAD PLASTIC CORKS IN EVERY HOLE I HAD TO REMOVE BEFORE INSTALLATION…

I FORGOT ONE ON HE RETURN LINE IN THE BACK OF THE BLOCK AND THUS NOT ALLOWING FLUID TO FLOW THROUGH THE HEATER CORE

THE GOOD??
I KNOW NOW ILE HAVE HEAT BECAUSE I REBUILT THE WHOLE SYSTEM

THE BAD?
I FEEL LIKE A COMPLETE DINK!!

THANKS ALL FOR THE HELP AND SUJJESTIONS!!

Yes, and most likely in better shape..

all things considered i would think that if it only had a small leak that i would still have heat in the heater…i mean its not leaking that bad…the leak i found was under the intake in the vally, so today ile be removing the whole intake plenum to expose the vally and the leak hopefully.

[quote=”Disabled Automotive” post=176043]Sounds like Smith&Wesson needs to put an end to its existence :angry:[/quote]
honestly i would have trashed it after the motor whent this spring.. but its my buddies.. hope he has deep pockets because the motor job alone was 3000..now these issues come up

[Ron]

And to make things interesting the alternator crapped out all of a sudden…. this truck is full of demons…

[quote=”shaun” post=175998]If the core flows good out of the vehicle a new core won’t solve the problem. There’s a reason why coolant isn’t getting to it. Maybe messy but disconnect the ingoing hose and run the engine, then work your way back[/quote]
ive done that and it flows fine..How ever i think theres a leak under the intake where ford decided it was a great idea to put the return line to the pump from the heater core.. you cant see it too look but i can see that its wet down there

[Ron]

NO VALVE AT ALL. IM GOING WITH THE IDEA THAT THE CORE MUST BE CORRODED OR SOMETHING… IM JUST GOING TO CHANGE THE HEATER CORE AND CALL IT A DAY, IF THAT DONT WORK ILE SEND IT TO A SHOP

[Ron]

OK SO HERES TODAYS EVENTS SO FAR!!

I GOT THE NEW WATER PUMP THIS AM AND CHANGED IT OUT… I LET THE SYSTEM BLEED AND STILL ONLY HAVE HEAT AT CONSTANT REVS… NO HEAT AFTER IT IDLES A BIT AND NO HEAT WHILE DRIVING…
THE ONLY THING I HAVENT DONE YET IS CHANGE THE HEATER CORE…
I DID FLUSH IT, IT WAS ALL CLEAN AND GOOD FLOW…I BLEW THROUGH IT WITH AIR AND THAT WAS CLEAN…
THIS SHITS REALLY GETTING ON MY NERVES BUT ILE CHANGE IT ANYWAYS TO SEE IF IT HELPS…ALSO IN CASE ANYONE IS WANDERING THE OIL IS CLEAN AND THE COOLANT IS NEW THERES NO HEAD GASGET GONE… ANY OTHER IDEAS FEEL FREE TO SHARE

[Ron]

FML.. just when to drain the rad…. only a few drops….stay tuned!
