Maintenance: 39th Oil Change (every 10K) and Tire Rotation, 13th Engine Air Filter, 13th Cabin Air Filter, 3 brake jobs, 3 coolant flushes, 2 spark plug changes w/carbon cleaning, no suspension work, no transmission service, 1 Break Down at 280K Due to a Design Flaw In The MGR Cable Which Powers The Hybrid System $5200, cat issue at 380K due to bad gas, no hybrid battery replacements in case you were wondering, does not consume oil
UPDATE: owners manual calls for replacement around 120k so I'm not that far behind i guess. Still went out and bought 4 new plugs and installed them. $80 at the dealer
Noticed before the LTFT was -6% and now its back to 0%.
My 2000 Ford Ranger with a 4-cylinder and manual is just about the simplest vehicle that could exist. SOHC engine, so not much that can go wrong in it. It's very satisfying to work on because you don't experience the shitty feeling of knowing you spent way longer on something than it should have taken.
Until I replaced the plugs, coils, alternator, starter, battery and cleaned connections all I could, this problem persisted and my vehicle killed a coil / 2 every season.
Those look great last time I did mine they were all carboned up but I was at 300k but definitely made a difference in Fuel economy and a little less sluggish
I’ve owned my truck for a year now and just decided to take out the spark plugs to see how old they were… mfs were the original factory plugs 14 years old and ran for 246k miles.. basically got a brand new truck now haha
When I had my Ford Raptor tuned I went with these as recommended by the tuner and they have been superb
I was looking at pictures of the V12 engine found in the Toyota Century. Then I noticed the spark plug/coil arrangement: Interesting.
2005 CVPI...180,000 mi....spark plug blown out of head. The Crown Vic was purchased at auction for $4200 a bunch of years ago with 100,000 miles and was very good to us until about a week ago...original engine, suspension parts, transmission and very few repairs.
econolines are ok except for one huge cluster****. On the late 90s through 02 i think they built them with too few threads on the heads for the spark plugs. Consequently spark plugs routinely blow out.
