I appreciate all the replies to my post. I thought this was a Ford forum. No offense.

Hey no problem No Offense

So what was the fix?

Sorry that you recieved little help, just remember not everyone hits this site on a daily basis.

Brand new spark plug was defective. Bosch platinum. Checked everything to find out that was the problem. Geez!

Hey love the signature. "The Moon Rulz!"

Man that sucks. What are the chances of picking up a bum new spark plug. Well at tleast you got it figured out and it was an inexpensive fix

For future reference. AutoZone, Advance and a few other chains offer free testing of suspected defective parts.
You might check around and see who offers this service in your area. Sorry I didn't see this thread sooner.

Does O'reilly's offer that service? I live in BFE and the closest Autozone and Advance is 40 miles away. I'm just glad I was able to figure it out. It took a while. I have never had this happen and I don't think I have ever heard of it happening to anyone one else. Though I am sure it has.

According to their web site O'Reilly's has free electrical testing. As do most of the major chains. Just to be sure, you might want to ask, next time you're in the store.
As for new parts being bad. That's always a possibility. In the past I've had 1 wire in a set of 8 plug wires be bad. Rotors, distributor caps, you name it.
If it's electrical, don't assume it's good just because it's new. For that matter that goes for any new part.

Back when I was a selling parts I came accross a discovery most people would never think about doing and that is checking plugs with an ohmeter.We found that different brands would get different readings,Champions and Bosch would be all over the place and AC's & Autolites would have consistent readings.Hmm, food for thought??

Interesting :thumbsup:
