id like to see what differences the coil would make on a SOHC. granted it wont make much more hp, but it will help throttle response and the idle.

if it shows an improvement, this will be on the list of items to be done on the ranger when it needs a tune up (50,000 miles)...

 

yea that passanger rear is a pain in the ****! whenever i change mine ever with the body lift, i sit on top of the motor and lean over to change the passanger side.......my gf makes fun of me when i re-gapped the plugs...

 

the stock coil for the SOHC and the OHV are the same parts....they have the same Motorcraft part #'s.........

i would be willing to bet that it would also improve the throttle response.....i know the idle on the SOHC's are better and smoother than the OHV's.......

 

yes i know its the same coil, but u are the only one to test it and u have an OHV...just curious as to the benefiet on the SOHC.

it'd be nice to see a bump in milage as well :-D

 

yea......Wayne told me that all the Explorer people that he has sold them to haven't gapped out their plugs so he has no data on the SOHC's......

hopefully Rick keeps us updated on the SOHC install and gives good data for the SOHC....

 

ya rick, it all lays on ur shoulders LOL

 

i think im gonna scoop one up...so i just take my plug wires off and take plugs out (duh) then take old coil off....couple bolts....take seal off....put new one on....and pgap the plugs...put em in and wires where they are supoosed to go and im done? just messing with coil? I ask questions cause i lack mechanical skills but have seriously enjoyed doing all these small mods myself.....just ease my mind Maurice lol...

 

you got it^^

 

its fits my truck 2002? i think i am reading this right fits ALL 4.0L
Fits all 4.0 SOHC (Ranger, Explorer, Sport Trac), 1998-2000 4.0 OHV, 1996-2000 3.0L

 

I've got the drivers side done but I'm having 1 hell of a time with the passenger side.

Rick

 

^you changing plugs too?? or doing the demon?

 

Coil & Wires, coils in, truck runs with the drivers side wires done, can't even get to the passenger side. Dealership will do the plugs & it looks like the passenger side wires.

Rick

 

im looking at Waynes site right now.....its in the cart just deciding if i really want to do it.....decisions decisions

 

so what if i just buy the demon pack and replace it and dont do anything with the plugs and wires? I know the wires are ok, but what if i dont gap them? Will it be harmful or anything? Will i notice anythign good/bad?

 

jack up the front end, remove the passenger side wheel and try getting to the plugs from there.

 

niice

edit: kinda delayed.. my bad

 

Be careful with the SOHC plugs, they are platinum and you can damage them during the gapping procedure!!!

 

Mine isnt!!!

 

Leaving stock gap wont hurt anything, but the whole point to the coil pack is being able to regap them allowing them to burn all the fuel making your truck more effiecent. You should still see a slight difference with the coil pack anyway...

 

that is because you have the supercharger!

 

Any updates Maurices?

 

UPDATE!!!

check 1st post for verification of the update. filled on after the 1st tank with the new gap.

i am currently running now on the Screamin' Demon with a Bama XCalibrator 2, so hopefully my milage will go up even more!

 

thats awesome! so im thinking 22 or possibly 23 on the highway which i hardly ever do but man im pumped now to get mine!
