How to Ensure Proper Functioning of the Ignition Coil in a Ford Explorer?

The service process begins with pulling off the battery ground cable and the ignition coil electrical connectors. A combination of pulling upward and twisting the locking tabs will remove the six spark plug wires along with boot movement to protect their structure. Before disconnecting spark plug wires it is necessary to label their positions since this preserves correct mapping to the appropriate ignition coil terminals. Disconnection of wires should be followed by removal of bolts that secure the ignition coil before extracting it from the engine. For reinstallation reverse the disconnection process while applying silicone dielectric compound to the inside of the spark plug wire boots.

How to service and repair the ignition coil on Ford Explorer?

Start the ignition coil servicing and repair by disconnecting both the electrical connector of the ignition coil and radio noise suppressor electrical connector. Check that spark plug wires receive electrical power from the appropriate ignition coil terminal. A proper connection break can be achieved by pulling upward during tab squeeze while making twisting motions to remove the six spark plug wires that are resting on the ignition coil. The next procedure consists of unbolted the four fasteners which hold the ignition coil in position. Users should fasten new ignition coil bolts at a torque of 6 Nm (53 lb-in). Silicone dielectric compound needs application to the inside areas of ignition coil boots in preparation for installing the ignition coil using the reverse order of removal steps.

The Ignition Coil is a component that has a significant function in the vehicle's ignition process; therefore, in the Ford Explorer model it is essential. Changing the low voltage obtained from the battery to high voltage power, the ignition coil produces the spark required to explode the air/fuel mixtures in the engine cylinders. This process deals with the primary and secondary circuits of the ignition system; while the primary circuits connect to the battery and the charging system, the secondary circuits link to the high tension lead, distributor cap, and the spark plug wires. Ford Explorer vehicles have employed various sorts of ignition coils; the distributor ignition system coils, coil packs, and the direct ignition coils. Coils of this type can differ in construction; some vehicles may employ one coil per cylinder, other may use wasted spark system which uses one coil for two cylinders. The ignition coil is one of the most imperative vehicle components; a faulty one affects engine performance, engine misfires, low fuel efficiency, and power loss.
