I just replaced my spark plugs and wires. I went for a test run and as soon as I went up a hill my car misfires and became rough especially on idles on the way home. I checked the plugs again but now it won't start, it cranks but won't turn over. I got CEL code p0113 IAT and changed it with a new one. Code still there. Can a bad coil pack cause the car not to turn over???
Can anyone confirm if this is the right firing sequence for our cars I have a 2000 V6 Mustang this diagram shows the coil pack and the spark plug that it goes to
So that means my wiring set up is correct then that leaves the coil pack so I'm going to replace that now any difference in coil packs from AutoZone to the ones they sell on American muscle?
Before you do anything else, reset the computer by unhooking the battery for at least 30 minutes then hook back up. I installed a cam synch on a car and it had random misfire problems, replaced crank sensor coil pack etc etc didn't change, reset the damn thing and it runs like new -_- it's worth a shot.
But honestly any non-motorcraft one comes with a risk of not working properly, very few have good luck with aftermarket coils but in short term you can use it to diagnose a problem and return it later if you want.
The reset test did not work. Passed by a ford dealer and tech said might be the MAF sensor. What could have causes it to go bad? I might pick one up from autozone and see if it works.
Well the MAF wouldn't cause your car not to turn over. It has to be a spark or fuel problem. You said it was misfiring. Maybe check the fuel filter and your cut-off switch. And if that doesn't work then you'll have to check the plugs and wires one by one. Maybe you didn't do something right. It happens.
Turns out that original diagram I posted before was INCORRECT for my 2000 v6 mustang. I got the same off of autozone and other forums. Then I found this one and bingo clean strong start and idle

Strange.. They're suppose to be vin 4, I just went and looked at my daily (2000 model) and its setup just like a 01-04 style but upside down.. So the vin "r" order would be correct, honestly the first time I've heard of this
It was but when I saw the autozone diagram and I double checked the forums it was different. I posted here the other day with the diagram I followed and was told it was correct. But then I followed the diagram on the coil pack and it worked. I just don't want some one else to get into the same problem as I do in the future
i see this come into play a few times at work. because we carry a different coil for both the 99-00 and the 01-04 models. so i assumed the order would be different
