[QUOTE="ifixcopcars, post: 114631, member: 868"] As far as removing the coils, remove the wire connector and unbolt the coil, twist the coil to "unstick" the boot in the head. I fix cop cars, mostly crown vic's, 4.6, for a living and have never had a problem removing the coils. If the boot comes off the coil, use some needle nose pliers and pull it out of the head. I always replace the boots and contact springs inside when I change spark plugs. They tend to shrink over time from the heat, sometimes crack and if the area gets wet, they short out. You can buy the boots and contact springs at most major auto parts store, I use ones marketed by Standard Motor Products, USA made. If you actually need a new coil, buy the US made units, the import junk is just that and don't spend extra for name brand high performance coils, they are no better than oe replacements, just got a pedigree name and high price. When you install new spark plugs use a little anti-seize on the threads. [/QUOTE]
