Intensifying the heat makes it easier to burn the fuel and air mixture. This translates to improved performance. Regardless of the type, companies in the ignition market, like MSD or Accel , will have product to cover your needs.
A lot of vehicles are built with ignition boxes added to the system. If you know what they are, you already know the value of installing one and why owners make such a big deal about them. When just running through the coil and distributor, only a single spark is used to ignite the air and fuel mixture. Ignition boxes use advanced technology to multiply the amount of sparks from one to three. This will increase power , response, and drivability.
This only happens up to RPM in most cases. Anything over that only uses one spark for ignition, but it is still intensified to ensure improved performance. With that in mind, you can set a rev limiter with the use of an ignition box. These units are designed to give users better control and improved performance of their vehicle. The Mustang had been running a little rough and was lighting up the check engine sign.
A quick scan with our code scanner , and we knew what the problem was — there were several cylinders with consistent misfires. Over time, the coil packs can weaken, not producing enough spark, add to that worn spark plugs, and the problems start mounting up. We could have gone with the factory-type coil, but the reality is that the Accel coil packs are actually cheaper than the OEM originals, and they provide a more powerful spark. This means the engine will run better, get better fuel economy because it burns the fuel more completely , and have more power.
Why not upgrade ignition coils? Follow along as we show you how to upgrade ignition coils on our test vehicle. The process of swapping the coils and spark plugs is fairly straightforward. It all starts by removing the air cleaner hose that runs from the airbox to the throttle body. This gives you access to the coils. The Mustang uses metric bolts, so make sure you have metric sockets.
The coils have a single hex-head screw holding it to the intake. Grip the coil firmly and twist it while pulling it out of the socket. Only work on one cylinder at a time. You do not have to remove the fuel rails as some suggest, the coil boots will flex enough to get the coil out. Sometimes, the coil will come off of the boot, if this happens, just use a pair of needle-nose pliers to yank the boot.
We used a spark plug gapping checker to make sure the gaps were set to spec. We opened them up to. The factory Ford spec is. The threads of the plugs were treated to a coating of anti-seize, and then threaded back into the head. The electrode portion of the coil needs some dielectric grease to keep it from corroding. This comes in the kit with the coil packs.
Only if your stock coil isn't working. Closing the gap to 0. I am not confident in the expense of using MSD products. Until recently, the only coil failure that I've ever had was an MSD blaster coil only hours old.
I'd try some race gas just to see if it went away. I had to gap the plugs on my turbo Miata down to. With load, without, or both?
