Coil Pack

[Guest cuddles]

Hi i have 1800 xr3i k reg its been running rough the last few days it feels like its misfiring,so i changed the leads which didnt solve anything i then noticed that when i turn the engine over in the dark it sparks from the coil pack and along one of the leads,could this be the coil pack needs replaceing?if so whats the best replacement and are they interchangeable with other models.it also seems to get worse as the car heats up thanks cuddles

the coil pack's usually crack and can cause misfire. Some ford coil packs fit different models, but best of checking with a motor factors or ford

I have recently changed a coil pack on a 'M' plate 1600 zetec escort with an coil pack from my 'H' plate EFi MK4 cabby. So you might be lucky to get a coil pack from a earlier model which may be a bit cheaper.

yep sounds like the coil pack has cracked, id go to a motor factors and find out what fits your engine then search ebay for it cheaper lol
