Get cops - Cobra 148 GTL 120-Channels Base CB Radio

yes 15psi coolant can leak and spray where ever it wants, called squirting.
gee park the car hot, open the hood and look for 1hr. idling hot.
the leak will be found.???
by just looking, not casually , every inch there.
your valve cover and spark coil (COPS) has leak (coolant)
some cars with cops can have a seal at the bottom of the COP well..
if not good it leaks oil not coolant so are you confused on
green coolant over, brown oil?
and spray can not land and pass by COP top seals unless those seals are bad (a double failure this) and 21 year old.

2001 engine ford 5.4L.

"tested for cracked head/gasket 3 times"
combustion side and water jacket leak down test. both?

it seals the combustion chambers and independent COP WELLS
5.4 liter TRITON engine not super charged , correct?

this engine is odd for cops. not done center of valve covers
or plugs at exhaust ports, (no cop fits there ever)
so ford put the cops into the head, and the head gasket is bad there
or you have casting flaw to the cop well to the water jackets
one way to find this is :
clean the #3 well dry
then on cold engine
run it till hot, 180f to 200F and cut the engine at key
then pull #3 cop and with a flash light look down the well to see the now 15psi pressure pushing(green collant) in to the well
if seen to ooze from inside walls, that is a castling flaw.
or the intake manifold water gasket seal leaks and drains down the cop hole.
I have no xray view of the head or this would be a childs play answer, given that.,
not sure me what heads are here, SOHC or DOHC. 2 or 3 or 4 valves per cylinder. guess at SOHC 2v.
5.4L has many varants on heads. photos of your cops would answer all that.
are your heads F6AZ MARKED.

see this water jacket port on Intake MAN they can leak can to places not wanted.

RECAP[
BAD GASKETS RELATED HEAD/ AND INTAKE.
BAD HEAD CASTING FLAW
the cop boots on an car this old are no good, and cheap to replace.
like $15 a pop
clean them up and HV just hates, contam., here, clean it all.
use NGK plugs or AC not chumpions.< that love to break)
sure ford, parts , sure motorcraft.
sure.
here is the 3v head. see that wall there behind the cop,
forget cylinder numbers for now.
see this, coolant would have leak massive to go over this dam.
so what heads do you have? 3 kinds. (2 or 3 is possible) 4 not.










this is Mr.COP, see the red arrow
if the coolant is sitting above the seal , and cop is pulled out , it then goes down, to the spark end. and spark ends.
if there is head casting flaw it will leak seen car parked hot engine turn off and 15psi coolant pressure will leak at #1 intake runner
or in the well
one or the other, and is the cause when seen. and tested.

no VIN no year told
valve caps ( more than one?) (I bet meant SPARK COPS)
a DOUBLE WrONG TYPO
engine K3 -VE or DE engine./ 1,298 cc Toyota 2SZ-FE engine
or the 1NR-VE engine. 1329cc
no year , no vin and no true CC told,
Cups , typed wrong .

Daihatsu's internal code for this engine is labeled as K3-DE/VE

top cover means head VALVE cover
or the top plastic thin cutesy pie cover? for looks only.
I guess you spelled wrong the 4 COPS coil over plugs
called them CUPS.
yes the harness only goes one why to the COPS
and sets firing order of all COPS
from PCM

#1 COP ,1,2,3,4
#1 is always most near the crank pulley.
in that order and COPS harnesses are fixed fast and can not be mixed up or learn to tag all harness ends.

Under the plastic plate on top of the block

Do you know for a fact cylinders one two and four are firing ?
The codes are for circuit problems with the coils on those cylinders. The coils get power from the PCM power relay and the engine computer grounds each coil to fire the spark plug. The codes mean the coils are not firing, and since you replaced the coils there may be too much resistance in the circuits coming from the computer.

xv20 ? USA> all answers by me , USA. so.....????
guessing? why not post symptoms,????
does car have an Immoblizer, and if yes, is it ACTIVE? (dash lamp)?
did you scan it, scan the PCM and crank for 5seconds.
yes?
it will tell you what is bad. CMP or CKP
did it?
what displacement v6 (guessing at)
3.0 L 1MZ-FE V6 192 hp

did you ever remove the Vbank covers and note this is a COP
engine (coil over plugs) and has 6 cops and 6 ignitors?
are all 6 cops dead, ID BET NOT !!!
but if ALL were, then the ECU will tell you why back to my scan quesiton at top;. dead CMP, dead CKP.
my 1998 cars has (outside ignitors) even with COP engines.
later they moved the ignitors to the cop or ECU.
this car has an external. called the ICM
$265,. so dont guess.
swap cops to find out if the ICM is dead or the cop.
easy huh? if the problem sticks in place , its a bad ICM.
The ECU fires the ICM using 3 wires, and a feed back wire.
the ECU will tell you if the ICM fails. scan it.

I15, see it?

old post. but ill try.for others.
no spark , by WHAT MEANS, test spark plug or DTC codes
just a clue here , really helps. no spark tell me not much.


the V6, 2.5L ???? lots of years, and some have radially different
park systems. (2.0L v6 is case in point)
ill answer for 99 GV , USA. No country stated. so.... ham strung.
now i must look up what coil pack yours has, mine has 6 COPS
would be nice if you said COPS or I have 8 coils.
as some have wasted spark with only 3 coils in a brick.
i go to alldata.com, so can you.
i click spark pages.
H25 engine.
has 6 cops. in 1999 here, just like my 04 (igitors are in the COPS)

no spark using a real test new spark plug ,gapped correctly
at 2 coils. 3pin COPs. do not use wrong type COPs. or blow up ECU.
is:

1. lost 12v to both dead cops
2. ECU bad. driving both. (or wires to it)
3. lost ground conn. to those 2 COPS.
4. Connectors on those 2 are corroded. (3 pins)
5. The boots on both are full of carbon tracking and are shorted. a very common fail on old COPS. i buy new boots, they are like $15 not $75 to 150 each full cop.

COP means, COIL over PLUG.(spark plug)

my answers only cover USA spec cars....

did you test he cop boots off, cop?????
can be done.
(hands in pocket test or you glow like a June bug or worse)
100,000 volts there, open circuit, not fun to get NAILED.
been so , 100s of times.but not on HEI, only once. never again.

THE PCM driver the COPS direct.
2.0L engine right> always post engine type. displacement.
the 2005 has no fire wall mounted ignitor, like older suz.
the ECU is direct drive to COPs.
in a real shop we check the input to the COP if its bad , the ecu or the wires from ECU to COP are bad.
there are only 3 parts. here. not counting the spark plug
ECU/PCM , wires. and COP.
only using a scope can you tell if the pulses to the coil are present.
they are fast pulse on the order of 3/1000th of a second.

they are under the COPS *coil over plugs"
which is under the cop covers.

the cops are hard to remove without breaking them.

here my way, retried mech.
disonnect the cover
remove,its locked,dontforceit. the cop connector.
unscrew the 8mm screw.
gently remove the COP by twisting and turning ,
it will be stuck.

for me the top of the coil pops off and there is spring there exposed.
on some that are stuck.
i then inject silicon pen oil. into the tiny hole on the top of stuck boot.
i wait , 5m. then i blow shop air into this hole and the boot comes out.

doing this job without 1 spare cop is not good.

see my photos here.

1. Disconnect the voltage regulator connection at the alternator assembly and start the engine to see if it runs better or not and to see if the same coil-on-plug (COP) unit codes reset.

2. If the engine operation is good unless the voltage regulator connection is plugged in, it suggests a diode failure of the alternator assembly creating electrical noise.

3. If the engine operation is not any different with the voltage regulator connection unplugged, check the COP unit circuits at the PCM for battery voltage with the ignition switch in the run position and the COP's connected. Perform a wiggle test of the circuits and harness to verify that battery voltage to the PCM cannot be interrupted indicating a PCM failure.
COP 1 is controlled by a Light Green/White (LG/WH) wire at pin 1 of the C175e connector.
COP 2 is controlled by a Pink/White (PK/WH) wire at pin 12 of the C175e connector.
COP 3 is controlled by a White/Pink (WH/PK) wire at pin 24 of the C175e connector.
COP 4 is controlled by a Dark Green/Violet (DG/VT) wire at pin 35 of the C175e connector.
COP 5 is controlled by a Light Green/Yellow (LG/YE) wire at pin 36 of the C175e connector.
COP 6 is controlled by a Orange/Yellow (OG/YE) wire at pin 22 of the C175e connector. 1. There have been a lot of problems with the coil circuit wires breaking inside their insulation near the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) connector, usually within 2" of the PCM. Wiggle test the wiring harness, starting from the PCM and working toward the coil. 1. Verify battery power is present and consistent on the Red (RD) wire of multiple Coil-On-Plug (COP) unit connections.

2. If the battery power supply to the COPs is good, disconnect and inspect the C133 engine harness connector at the top of the engine for a possible connection issue. This connector is a grey 16-terminal connector. It may be behind the rear side of the intake plenum. Service the connection as necessary.

3. Disconnect the PCM connection and inspect the COP unit primary circuits and terminals at the C175E connection. Service the connection as necessary.

4. If the circuits and connections all appear to be in good condition, replace the PCM. Replacement of the PCM will require a programming function to be performed using the Ford scan tool for Passive Anti-theft System (PATS) functions and the PCM is an 8 year/80,000 mile (7/70 for CA state emissions) warranty item.
