Free computer check at Auto Zone identified the problem being the #1 cylinder was not firing. Checked the spark out of the coil and dead on that cylinder. (10 minutes for all of that)Ford store estimated $250-300 for repair. With assistance from YouTube - New coil pack is $150 at ford store, same factory OEM coil pack was $64 FS and no tax at Rock Auto online. Coil pack is on the top of the motor and held on with 3 screws. Part on the way and estimated time for me to swap it out is 15-20 minutes, less than the time it would take me to get it to the shop and back.fukking dealers are crazy high.I wish you luck with all that.Same reason I replace the brakes on my cars. $400+ at Firestone, less than $50 at home.I quit working on my own vehicles a long time ago when a mechanic complained that not only did he have to fix what was originally wrong, but also what I fukked up.Mostly, mechanics just replace parts that the computer tells them is faulty. No one fixes anything anymore.When they design an autonomous car that not only drives itself, but also fixes itself - then we'll be on to something.just a matter of time.Nah. They'd have to figure out a way to charge you back for it. Imagine you get a bill at the end of the month for "auto" repairs you had no idea had taken place? That's not gonna fly.Oh yeah, Americans would NEVER let themselves be taken advantage of by a corporation.

Morning, muchachos.My boss is a dick. Just saying.
I may go send some bullets down range either today or tomorrow. Need to report some proficiency numbers so as I don’t get a nastygram from the CWP instructor. Not mandatory to participate in that program but free and serves to encourage getting out and chooting regularly. Being old and retired I wear cargo pants/shorts a lot so got me a new holster designed to carry my subcompact Springfield.45 in a cargo pocket.
