First of all, make sure your check engine light isn't on. If it is, it could very well be a computer related problem. If it's not on, how much voltage are you getting? You should be getting over 12V at power end of the coil. If not, it won't supply enough current to overcome the resistance of the spark plug gap. At the end of the coil leading to the distributor, you should have a very high voltage in which should be tested with a clamp type multimeter at the bare minimum. That will tell you if your primary system is working properly. If it is, make sure your connections are tight, your secondary wires are in working order, and make sure your distributor/cap/rotor are working properly. That should work.
This model should have an individual coil on top of each spark plug. Unbolt the coil to remove\replace the spark plug underneath it. Hope this helps.
whats the gap size for a 1985 e150 econoline conversion van (carbed) ======================================================= According to one of Fords websites : For a 1985 Ford E-150 : All engines have the spark plugs gapped at ( .044 inch ) * the HIGH ALTITUDE version of the 4.9 liter six , the spark plugs are gapped at .054
The ignition coil is located just to the right of your car's engine. An easy way to locate it is to follow the wires from your spark plugs. The other end of the cable is connected to the ignition coil.
Fuel injected? In the fuel tank Carb.? At the front lower section of the engine - follow fuel line
yes they will interchange . you should have mo major problems switching them.
Dust module
yes
check the ignition control module.
Replace the pick up coil it's inside the distributor. This may fix it.
