You can have a bad coil and the check engine light might not come on. Take it to an auto parts store and have them read the codes(most will do this for free). I had a coil go out and it took awhile before the check engine light came on.
Yes you can replace the coils yourself. The last one on each side is a pain-in-the-ass to get to and you will need an extension and swivel for your socket set to get those. Find out which ones are bad and replace those first then you can do the others when you don't have anything else to do.
I don't care if they take the whole car, just don't break in and take my stuff from inside. The people that steal the whole car aren't as bad as the ones who want your personnal stuff. The ones that get your drivers license, credit cards and then your identity are the ones that need to be SHOT.
Talked to a guy about the Jimmi Jammer. He said they are a waste of time and money. He suggested taking the door panel off and taking the bar from the key to the lock off that way you fob still works but they can't open it from the outside door handle. The only problem with that is if you lose...
Actually the car was in a parking lot at a little league baseball park less then 75 yards from people so they had to be quiet and not break a window or set off the alarm.
After seeing how they got in I can't believe Ford designed the doors that way. I can now take a screwdriver to any Expedition door and open it faster than you can with a key and never set of the alarm.
This past weekend someone poped out my door handle out, unlocked the car and stole a lot of valuables. Is there a fix so it is not as easy to brake in to? The police said they just take a large screwdriver pry the back, bottom of the door handle assembly. He said it takes them about a 1 min.
Sounds like a COP to me. I have had replace 4 coils on my 2003. Easy to do. Go to an auto store get them to read your check engine codes. That will tell you which coil needs to be replaced.
Its the coil. There are coil over plugs on each cylinder and if one goes bad you will have a skip when accelerating. It is a common problem, I have had to replace 3.
