Q: How to check and replace the electronic integrated (El) ignition system and Ignition Coil on Ford Expedition?
A: To check the EI ignition system, disconnect the coil's electrical connector(s) with the ignition off and use an ohmmeter to measure resistance. If not, replace the coil. For this, disconnect the battery's negative cable, the ignition coil electrical connector(s), and remove the spark plug wires. Remove the ignition coil from the engine mounting bracket. During installation, apply silicone dielectric compound inside the rubber boot before inserting each spark plug wire into the ignition coil.
Q: How to inspect and replace Ignition Coil and spark plug wires on Ford Expedition?
A: First of all, apply the silicone dielectric compound inside each boot after detaching a Spark Plug wire. Replace and check for spark plug wires while you're installing new spark plugs. First off, watch for damage to the wires as the engine runs, starting with cylinder number one. The other wires should be inspected and made sure they are well fastened. Also, clean them up and see if there are any cracks on the coil packs or carbon tracking problems.
