Gerritt Posted November 13, 2011 Report Share Posted November 13, 2011 My truck started to misfire.. So I figured after 200k it was time for a new set of plugs.... If anyone has done this to an older ford truck I could use a bit of advice... How did you get the coils off the rear plugs? when you can get you're hand in there... How did you deal with the fuel rail and "sensor?" attached to the fuel rail right above the 3rd plug on the driver side.. I could use any and all suggestions at this point... I only have 3 plugs left to go. G Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
misfish Posted November 13, 2011 Report Share Posted November 13, 2011 Yer talking about the back plugs Gerrit? If so,you need to remove the tire and go from underneath. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skeeter99 Posted November 13, 2011 Report Share Posted November 13, 2011 can be done from the top u just have to work in tight spaces done it for quite a few buddies over the past even the guys at the dealership do it from the top I witnessed it once but it was a older smarter mechanic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gerritt Posted November 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2011 it is an 2002... and I just cannot get my hands in there let alone a ratchet to pull the bolt holding the coil in place... and then I have to try and get ratchet extensions down to remove the plug... seems impossible! any tips on removing the fuel rail on drivers side to remove those plugs? there is a sensor or regulator right over top of the third plug.... can I get in any trouble removing this rail? as it is connected to each cylinders fuel injectors..... could use any and all advice right now.

archer379 Posted November 13, 2011 Report Share Posted November 13, 2011 there is no proplem removing the fuel rail just watch for the o rings there are 2 bolts on each side the hard part is if you have to remove the fuel lines that come into the fuel rail u need a little tool that slides over the line its a pain in the uknow. The 98 doesn't have the coil on the plug it has 2 coil packs so i can't really help with the removal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
