Ignition Coils for 2000 Ford Thunderbird

 

The 2000 Ford Thunderbird has a 3.9L V8 and uses 8 individual ignition coil on plugs. This set up is similar to many of the modern Ford setups. The original part number for these ignition coils is DG515. These ignition coils can fail over the years causing your 2000 Thunderbird to misfire. The 3.9L V8 has what is called a coil on plug setup. Each ignition coil sits right over each spark plug. Replacing these coil packs can get quite expensive because the local auto parts stores charge up to $80 for each ignition coil. Not to mention, when the coil packs are old (or especially original), and one fails, it's best to replace all of the ignition coils at once. This simply does not fit in the average family's budget. We are here to solve this issue with price, and keep quality. How do we do it? We buy several hundred to several thousand of each ignition coil pack. This allows us to get these ignition coils at a great price, and sell them directly to you. The local auto parts store will only order a few to keep on hand, effectively paying the highest price for them, then marking them up.

 

Replacing all 8 ignition coils at the same time

If your 2000 Ford Thunderbird has a bad ignition coil, chances are the rest of them are either original or over 7 years old. When one fails, the others tend to fail not long after. The reason why this happens is because they are all the same age and wear in the same environment. Regional weather can have a very big effect on the longevity. People who live in humid regions see a much shorter ignition coil life. Humidity is a big enemy of ignition coils. Replacing all 8 ignition coils in your Thunderbird doesn't have to be an expensive event. When you purchase the full set of ignition coils, you will always save money over buying singles whether you buy online or locally. If you don't know how to find out if you have a bad ignition coil in your 2000 Ford Thunderbird, you can purchase an OBDII scanner to help you find out. A bad ignition coil will usually give you some symptoms. usually a misfire feeling, or a check engine light. If you have a check engine light, you can use your OBDII scanner to find out which ignition coil is causing the misfire. You will normally see a misfire code such as P0301 through P0308. Swap any bad ignition coil to another cylinder, reset the computer, and rescan. If the misfire follows the bad coil pack, then you have bad ignition coil. If the misfire remains on the same cylinder, then you have another problem, and have narrowed down your problem.
