2006 Mercury Mariner Ignition Coil Packs

 

The 2006 Mercury Mariner uses a coil on plugs design. These are also called coil packs, ignition coils, or C.O.Ps. These should be replaced in sets if one fails and the others are around 7 years old. This can be too much as some of these run around $50-$80 each at many stores. We have the full set of 4 or 6 for well under $100, and our ignition coils are quality aftermarket parts. We don't cut corners when it comes to quality, and we stand behind our products for as long as you own your 2006 Mercury Mariner. Our lifetime warranty covers the product and all shipping back and fourth. Not only do we help you save money on the coil packs themselves, but we also help you save money on the diagnostic, and the actually repair itself. We have a lot to say about the 3.0L V6 because the engine bay looks extremely intimidating, but changing the coils in the V6 is easy too. Keep on reading if we caught your attention. 

 

2006 Mercury Mariner Ignition Coil Replacement

 

Changing the coil packs on the 2.3L Mercury Mariner is extremely easy. The 4 coils sit right on the top of the engine and can be removed with any 7mm socket or wrench. For the 3.0L V6 Mariner, it looks very difficult to replace these, but it is actually not hard at all. The intake manifold can be removed in about 20 minutes for a beginner. Remember that it was designed to be removed for service. You just remove the air box, throttle body, vacuum hoses, EGR valve, and the bolts to the intake manifold. This can be done in 10 minutes by many people. Yes! 10 minutes. We expect a first timer to take 20-30 minutes, but remember. It depends on how many times you lose your tools (if you're like most of us who can spend 20 minutes looking for a tool). Once the intake manifold is removed, replacing the ignition coils can be easily done with a 7mm socket or wrench. Installing everything is a simple reverse process. The front three ignition coils are just as easy as the 2.3L engine as they are easily accessible without anything blocking them.

 

2006 Mercury Mariner Ignition Coil and PCM/ECU replacement

 

This is a well know issue that the Escape/Mariner 3.0L V6 had. The PCM (main computer) was known to fail when an ignition coil failed. It is not know if the PCM would damage the ignition coils, or if the ignition coil packs would damage the PCM, but we know that when a coil goes bad, there is a chance that the PCM may need replacement. Either way, a simple ignition coil failure should not damage the PCM and this was mainly a fault with the electronics on the vehicle manufacturer's end. While we don't sell these, we do have recommendations that won't break your wallet either. Before buying new, give us a call or email, and we would be happy to give a recommendation for a place that rebuilds these at an affordable price.
