2010 Ford Crown Victoria Ignition Coil Packs

 

The 2010 Ford Crown Victoria police interceptors used different names. Instead of the P71 VIN number designation for all non civilian Crown Victorias. The 2010 Police interceptor used P7b, P72 was used in commercial vehicles (taxis, etc) and P74 was used for the regular civilian models. Like the previous yeas however, they all used the 2 valve per cylinder 4.6L V8 engine. They still used the DG508 curved rubber boot ignition coils. As these ignition coils began to fail, it's best to change out all 8. This is especially true if the coils are over 7 years old, or original. If you get these locally, they run around $50 to $100 for each coil at the auto parts store or dealer. Unless you like spending over $500 on just ignition coil packs, you've come to the right place. The truth about these ignition coils is that they are marked up aggressively by many auto parts dealers because they are in high demand. These are a common failure point. Ask any Crown Victoria owner. Heck, ask any owner of a Ford from 2000 to 2010, and they will tell you their ignition coil woes. Some have fixed their issues for really cheap, and others have spent thousands of dollars at dealerships. At Araparts, our goal is to help you avoid spending big bucks on this job because we know that this isn't a difficult job to diagnose and repair. While individual ignition coils (distributorless systems) have been out for a few decades now, not everybody is caught up on these. They are scared to diagnose, and just take it to the shop. We are telling you right now to STOP. If you have any basic mechanical experience, you can diagnose the problem with your 2010 Crown Victoria, fix it without spending a ton of money. Keep reading below for more information on how to do this.

 

2010 Ford Crown Victoria Ignition Coil Replacement Cost

 

A usual auto shop rate starts at $50 and up. Many dealers will charge $100 or more per hour. It takes an hour to do this job, so labor will cost at least $100. This does not include the cost of the diagnostic. If you have an OBDII scanner you can do the diagnostic yourself. Plug the OBDII scanner into the diagnostic port underneath the driver's side of the dashboard. If you get any of these codes: P0301, P0302, P0303, P0304, P0305, P0306, P0307, or P0308, then you have a misfire. While the ignition coils are the most common reason for a misfire in the 4.6L 2010 Crown Victoria, there are many other reasons why it could misfire. To find out if you have a bad coil pack in your 2010 Crown Vic, simply swap the ignition coil from the misfiring cylinder to another cylinder, reset the PCM, and drive until the check engine light comes back on. Rescan to see if code followed the ignition coil. If it did, then the ignition coil is your problem for sure. If it did not, there could be another reason, but you have just narrowed your problem down. If you feel a misfire and have no check engine light in your Crown Vic, fear not. We have an article and video specifically for this issue.
