you have a single 3 or 4 pin connector to the coil pack. Someimes the wires get corroded and break off at the connector. Ford has a pigtail kit to fix that issue. Usually a misfire with the check engine light on.
Green/bluestripe is from ignition switch
Black/green stripe is to PCM (computer)
Black/orange stripe is to PCM
These last 2 wires are what the PCM uses to fire the spark plugs 2 at a time.
when theses mechanics looked at your car was it running what was it doing before it stoped running was the check engine light coming on need more info thanks
A flashing light is BAD. Its damaging the cat converter. I would check or replace the spark plug wires ( if all OK, then) replace the coil pack. I would not replace anything unless they test bad. but these car are known for bad coil packs.
The coil pack harness is the largest
suspect here. i had the same cylinder and lousy running with it. I fixed
mine myself but it wasn't pretty as I had to take the connector apart to
do it. I believe ford has a replacement pigtail for the coil pack so if
one of the smaller wires is kinked or busted off (like mine was) I'd purchase the new pigtail from them it will be easier than taking it apart yourself as I did. Regardless, my fix has held.
