sparks by dis?

[SJJSHO]

sparks are not coming from the DIS... rather the coil pack. sorry for the screw up in the title of the post but i got them mixed up for a second

i crank the sho over... it idles, but it has kind of a putting noise with a spark noise as well..... i looked under the hood and i have little sparks coming from where you connect the spark plug wires (Coil pack). i wiggled them a little bit, unplugged and replugged in the wiring to the coil pack..... still making the weird spark/putting noise. any ideas? i just did a semi-60k with new plugs/wires/gaskets... and it was running fine until i just tried starting it up today.

motorcraft plugs and wires fyi

Sounds like there are probably some small cracks in your coil or in the wire towers which are allowing spark energy to escape. Looks like time for a new coil.

Or the wires aren't seated in the coil pack all the way.

You hooked up the wires correctly, right?

Check the condition of the coil pack towers, and the wire ends. If they look ok, a little dialectric grease won't hurt.
