Asked by northriverenergy May 09, 2015 at 04:00 AM about the 2002 Mercury Sable GS Sedan FWD

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

Changed crank pos. sensor, cam sens., 5 & 6 injectors, Intake plenum o-rings and
rotated plugs. Made sure I'm getting spark and still getting 5 & 6 misfire codes. In fact
engine is running rough and there is no difference if i disconnect 5 & 6 plug wires, yet an
noticeable difference w/ #4 wire pulled. What am I missing????!

Have more than triple checked wires, but it is possible the coil pack was wired improperly. I'll try it this evening and post the results.

In other words factory coil pack clockwise order is 465123, and the replacement order is 456123. Hadn't even considered this.

I don't know who the original owner was, It's my nieces car. But the original " motor craft" coil read:[from the front of the car position], left to right was 321, back was 465.
