How to service and repair the ignition coils on Ford Thunderbird?

The first step in repairing ignition coils requires removing the right side ignition air cleaner outlet tube. The service procedure requires removal of the evaporative emission canister valve which serves the left side ignition coils. Begin the service and repair by taking out bolts and ignition coil cover while remembering that the left-side images show the method but the right-side procedure follows a similar process. The electrical connector needs to be removed from each ignition coil after which the technician can remove these components by unfastening their mounting bolts. A reverse order of removal steps should be followed during installation where application of silicone brake caliper grease and dielectric compound occurs on the inside of the ignition coil boots.

In Ford Thunderbird ignitions systems the Ignition Coil is responsible for the conversion of low electrical voltage generated by the battery to the high electrical voltage required to ignite the air /fuel mixture inside cylinder of the motor vehicle engine. It is done by using two coils of insulated copper wire, one being the primary coil and the other being the secondary coil which is wrapped around an iron core. The current passes through the primary winding and causes a magnetic field to be produced when the switch is active, when this current is interrupted the magnetic field in the secondary winding produces a high voltage, used to fire the spark plugs. The ignition systems used in the Thunderbird through the years have ranged from the conventional distributor, distributor-less ignition systems (DIS), coil-on-plug (COP) systems and the most recent coil-near-plug (CNP) systems. The main difference among these types lies in their arrangement and performance. In any of the types, there are signs that show that ignition coil is faulty, they include; engine misfires, low fuel guage, and warning lights indicating a problem on the dashboard.
