I have a 2008 Ford Taurus that suddenly lost power,, I hooked it up to a diagnostic and it said I had a cylinder 2 misfiring code. I pulled the ignition coil pack for cylinder 2 and it was damaged. Since I never changed my spark plugs or coils I ended up replacing them all. Now I read my codes and I have a P0351 and P0354 telling me my coils are bad in the 1 and 4 cylinder. I removed the new packs and put in the better of the old ones and I am still getting the same error codes. I am smelling fuel when I let it run for a few seconds.
How long has your 2008 Ford Taurus had this problem?
RepairPal Certified shops can diagnose and repair your 2008 Ford Taurus. They provide transparent pricing with a minimum 12-month or 12,000-mile warranty on repairs and services.
Smelling fuel is a result of unburned fuel due to no or poor spark in the affected cylinders.
Are you using Ford factory parts? I would always use Ford factory coils to prevent any irregularities. Aftermarket coils for Ford products, in my experience, aren't up to par.
