Decided to change the spark plugs since i got the car used and didn't know if the previous owner did any maintenance on it.
Car as accel coil packs along with ford racing spark plugs.
Original Spark plugs were gaped at .035.
Did the replacement and gaped them at .032 since the guy at the dyno said it would be best.
Right after the first start, the car felt... different. if i stepped on the gas i would hear a clicking noise from the exhaust/engine ( didn't really follow the noise)
After i go the code. P0303 Misfire in cylinder 3. I checked it, re-positioned it and erased the code. Started it again and go the code along with the same idle/rough feel with the noise.
Thought it might be a coil, so i switched the spark plug with the coil with another and same thing. Same code and feel..
After all the frustration, i gaped the new ones to .035 as original and same feel. Rough start up.. takes longer to turn on and same noise.
Hope i didnt confuse anyone.... Now the car is running a kenne bell with 9 lbs of boost. New OEM o2 sensors.
Would Motorcraft be a better choice if i NEED to change the entire coil pack? Or would accel would be as good?
**** I did spray water on the coils to see if the car would rough idle but didnt**
