VR6 12V continuous mis

[B4EUROTRASH]

I have made several posts regarding my 95 B4. I have replaced several parts and dumped countless hours chasing this problem only to be left frustrated and the car running no better.
The car runs great and after 20-30 minutes, "boom" it starts to mis, only on 3 & 4. There is no spark jumping from the coil from those 2 points and only those 2. When the car is running, it will run and cycle the fans...heat up and cool down but, in 20-30 minutes it is all done and wants to misfire.
What been done to remedy:
1. starter and battery (after several no start attempts)
2. CS (Blue coolant sensor)
3. all relays (every single one)
4. ECU and relay
5. spark plugs
6. fuel pump and filter and relay
7. opened exhaust
8. new coil, less than 5k ago

cyls 3 and 4 are on the same coil in the coilpack, sounds to me like another faulty coilpack. i dont care if its only 5k miles old, ive seen brand new electrical items fail right out of the box. the fact that the problem occurs after a period of time (when the coil gets hot) only supports the coilpack theory. try to get it warrantied, score a good used one to swap and test or worst case bite the bullet and order another. gl

Also, space it out further away from the head. Heat kills it and it cracks.

Either DIY a plate or search the forums, someone used to make and sell them.

OR get a ford coilpack for a quarter or half of the price of the original part and never have to change it again for you entire life.

I really don't know why some insist on the original ****ty part. It's a flawed part, it will mess up.

What model of Ford does this coil pack come on? I am up for anything at this point. Especially when it comes to money...I guess she is living up to her nickname, the money pit.

Simply search "ford" in the 12v forum.

Took the advice and hit the local yard. Scored the Ford coil and a set a new wires for $30 bucks. Bought a set of MSD wires and dumped about 3 hrs into the conversion. Final verdict, Effing Kick Ass! Nice upgrade and it solved the problem I have been having. Never thought a coil with 5k would go bad....

Spread the word, my son, until all have been saved by thou Ford coilpack conversion.

good to hear we were able to get you sorted out. and never rule out an electrical item since it has low miles or was recently replaced, electrical items can often fail prematurely and without warning

check the main ground on the "cannon" plug, and look at the ground wire going to the coil pack.... is it burnt or fried?

I had this issue with my mk3 and it was frying the the ground wire for some reason. replaced the engine side engine harness and it started to happen again. it fried the ICM on the coilpack. I ended up cutting the ground wire from the cannon plug and to the coilpack, ran an inline fuse off the ground on the coilpack and grounded it on the back of the head. the ground wire from the cannon plug I elongated and grounded to the chassis with the other grounds by the battery.
