2004
If your 2004 Ford E150 has a misfire, then we can help you save money on quality ignition coils. Most 4.6L V8 and 5.4LV8 Ford owners don't want to spend $500+ on ignition coils, but they also don't want low quality parts that will fail a few months down the road. At Araparts, we have solved this need, and we also offer a lifetime warranty, good for as long as you own your 2004 E150. We don't just want to save you money on the parts however. We want to save you money on the entire process from the diagnostic to the actual job itself. That is why we offer cool diagnostic information like Mode 6 (misfire, but no check engine light- most common frustration with E150 owners) and we tailor the information to be specific for the 2004 Ford E150, rather than generic content you might see on other websites. If you need help, keep reading below. If you already know what your 2004 Ford E150 van needs, then continue on to find out how much money you can save on the parts.

Ignition Coils For 2004 Ford E150 Van
You 2004 Ford E150 Van comes with 2 different engines. A 2v 4.6L V8 and a 3v 5.4L V8. Each engine uses individual ignition coil on plugs. These are also called ignition coils and coil packs. Many owners replace these in full sets of 8 as old ignition coil packs tend to fail together in a short period of time. Most of the time it's months. Sometimes it's days. A lot of the failures happen during extreme hot or cold weather. For those that live in a humid climate, you may notice that you and others around you are replacing ignition coils much sooner than those who live in dry climates. While ignition coil packs do not have an estimated lifespan, they sure have a failure date. There are some reasons where you can get away with replacing just one ignition coil. If your ignition coils are not too old (5 years or less), or if you had a spark plug blow out, you can get away with replacing just one ignition coil. If they are all original, or you are not sure of the age, and one fails, then it's time to change them all out as the rest will be following soon. If you have been worried about the price of these ignition coils, or the cost to get them replaced, we can help you with that too!
Cost to Replace Ignition Coil Packs in 2004 Ford E150 Van & Misfire, No Check Engine Light Diagnostic
If you have any mechanical ability, and are thinking of taking your E150 van to a shop, stop right now and read this. The cost to diagnose and replace all 8 coils at any shop or dealership is going to be over $500. This is because mechanics will often times buy their coils from local vendors who are already expensive, and mark them up. They do have to make their money on the parts as well. Then for the diagnostic, it's common for the PCM in the E150 to not turn on the check engine light, even if the engine is misfiring. Not all mechanics are aware that the 2004 E150 PCM (PCM=powertrain control module/Main computer) can be read in depth using Mode 6. Not many vehicles in 2004 had this type of computer, but the 2004 E150 did. Now you will have many mechanics diagnosing the ignition coils the hard way and guess who's paying for that? You. Let's start off. If you know what an OBDII scanner is and don't own one, what are you waiting for? These cost under $10 at lots of online vendors, and can save you literally thousands of dollars in a few years time (or even sooner than that). There is also OBDII scanners with Mode 6 function. These start at around $50 online for the cheaper ones. While this may seem like a lot, this is going to cost a lot more to pay a shop to do this. We are going to talk about running a Mode 6 scan because the basic OBDII scan is very simple. All you have to do is turn key to ON position (engine off), scan, get code, fix problem (swapping coils rescan, etc). Mode 6 is used on your 2004 Ford E150 van to find the problem if you don't have a check engine light on. The PCM still records these misfires. It will not turn on the check engine light if the engine doesn't misfire more than 2.3% of the firing cycle. Plug your scanner is as usual and follow the instructions on the screen. Go to non continuous monitors, or diagnostic monitors. Then scroll down and select Test ID $53. Once you enter this mode, you will see the individual cylinders. They may have different names like "component one", etc but there will be numbers and a misfire count (value count, etc). From here you can see exactly how many times each cylinder misfired if it misfired at all. If you are scared of changing the back coils in your van, remember that there is a rear engine access panel in the interior of your E150. This makes getting to the rear coils no more difficult than the front ones.
