Stick with Motorcraft. My tuner said he's seen a drop in horsepower with aftermarket coils.

Those damn MSD Coil on plugs are more pricier then the GMS. I can't even find MSD's for my 4V. but someone told me they are like $500+ for them. GMS would be my best bet. I've also had bad luck with accel in the past.

Not trying to hijack the thread, but what do you suggest to use in cleaning the MAF sensor?(chemicals)if any? I have been thinking of cleaning mine after seeing so many threads about it, but they never say what to use.

a faulty o2 sensor will definitly make your car run like crap. most likely if youve thrown a o2 sensor code and its for the front o2 sensor then your car has gone into fail safe mode which means it never goes into closed loop. your car is running in open loop which is metered by predetermined values, which wont take in accounts such as cold weather, pressure differences, motor warming up, etc.

Thanks alot Livefast!! Thats what I was wanting to hear!!


Dr.Death I have heard of people using electronics spray cleaner but I didnt want to chance it, so I went with a product specifically made for cleaning MAF sensors, they carry it at many autopart stores and it worked great for me....6 bucks well spent.
