Hi everyone;

I need some new cops, and was wondering if anyone has had any experience with this seller on e-bay. thier cops are way cheap. I looked at my local ford dealers and they dont have the motorcraft ones on hand and want 72 bucks apiece. I have a stumble under acceleration and put new plugs in today. I noticed that 3 of my cops are slightly swollen on top and have hairline cracks. I suspect they might be the problem. The 03 MM is stock except for k/n panel filter.

Thanks for any replies. Don

Did your issue start after new plugs were put in?

fyi: Alot of tuners will tell you not to use aftermarket COP's..
My tuner "John Lund" asked me to put the stock coils back in...
I am supercharger & currently approx 700rwhp & still use my stock COP's all the way up to 7,000RPM with no problem

OEM's or MSD. I wouldn't trust anything else when it comes to coils. To much garbage out there.

So you recommend MSD?? I'm about to purchase a set for my car.

I've always had good results from MSD stuff.

But, as mentioned OEM's are pretty awesome for the $

Cheapest ones around. Work great on my Town Car. I had them in my MM but one went bad due to oil in the well and I went with Accel Super coils. Worked fine for the year they were installed though.

CTRLRAVEN;

The issue was there before tune up. the new plugs did help some and after I posted I changed the fuel filter. It looked like mud comming out of the fuel tank side and made a tremendous difference in the power, but I still have a little missing under load and am hopeful that the new cops will fix this.

thanks again for any help offered! I will be checking out Sparta,s website.
