95DarkGreenGTS · Jul 15, 2009

ok i know this has been brought up before but what all is involved in getting it switched over to the coil packs? I have a guy willing to sell me the coil packs and wires for $10. and wiring harness from explorer for $45 but I dont want to go get a bunch of crap i dont need.

any details

wow. I mean I know the distributor works and works fine I just thought it would be different to do it

Ive been semi interested in this myself, thinking of the much easier to diagnose OBD2 system you could get with an Explorer 5.0 setup. But keep in mind the explorers use a camshaft synchronizer and sensor assembly in place of a distributor as well as a crank sensor if Im not mistaken. SO it would be a little more involved then most people think. There are also other inputs to the PCM on later Explorers that our car isnt really wired to provide. Im sure there are ways around it and Im pretty sure people have likely already done it. Google searching time!
