Review on 🔥 XL3F12A699AA Blackwood Navigator Ignition Detonation by Greg Bellman

DOA. The 03 Excursion V8 had a tricky knock sensor that worked without resistance and set pending codes. Installed this (which involved ripping off the top of a 5.4 Super Duty 2V V8) and without really thinking I didn't check it out first and spent $130 on it. Gaskets and 4 hours to disassemble the engine to access the knock sensor in the intake valley, success stories, spark plugs also changed and all 8 brand new Mallory 150kVA coils. resetting the PCM), refusing to believe that the new knock sensor would be bad right out of the box, disconnected the two wires to the knock sensor from the PCM, tested it and found an open infinity circuit. Now I'm assuming the wiring is faulty, so I made my own wiring harness by connecting it to the circuit that's still open. Ripped off the top end, pulled the new knock sensor back out, dyno tested and it was a wide open incomplete circuit. Another $13 for a Ford part. Another set of top seals spent a few more hours stripping the top down to the Valley Pan, installed a new knock sensor, no more code. I also note that the box that I received the product in is a bit dirty, as is the knock sensor itself with some grease or dirt on it, so it could actually have been a buyer's return and I probably should have tested it first must. While this is a great price, it was equally suited to Ford V8 and V10 engines. 2-valve Super Duty V8 engines only have a knock sensor, while V10 and Triton 3V engines 2.1) NEVER PRESSURE FLUSHING OR RUN THROUGH DEEP WATER which can submerge your engine, even partially, if it is in excess of 50,000 miles and/or 5 years you smoke coils and knock sensors. 2) Always check knock sensors and coils regardless of brand. Ford COP coils are tested from 5.6 to 6.4 ohms on a 1k scale. A lower number usually means a stronger coil, more turns and a better kV rating the time will be shorter. pulled at random and no knock sensor code then replace them anyway, they're cheap and failures will cause fuel economy to drop so drastically that after a few hundred miles you'll end up having to pay what the sensor is worth in fuel several times over. Finally change the coils every 5 years. If you have a V8.5.4 buy a V10 with 10 coils, boots and spring kit from Revain with over 500 reviews 4.5 stars for $50 for 10 coils. There's nothing wrong with having a few addons for an extra $6, it'll cost you. Replace coils and spark plugs every 5 years regardless of mileage, heat cycles and humidity kill coils and knock sensors. Got 5,4,3v from 2004 to 2008. Would you like to change the spark plugs? BUY a LISLE spark plug rebuild kit and thank me later, no amount of WD40, MMO, PB Blaster etc will save you from damaging a spark plug in the head of an early 3v engine if they are original. originals. At least 2 break off in the head and many of the ones I've made over the years seem to break the head more often due to the lube used. Dry the spark plug holes and take your time, it's about $150 for a set of Lisle and 8 new triple platinum spark plugs (I use 1 Bosch) and DO NOT USE A WELL USED RENTAL STATEMENT SET FROM YOUR LOCAL AUTO PARTS STORE, they tend plus heavily worn extraction cords that can break off the stuck portion of the head, then forcing you to extract the heads, parts around $1800.00 and average work.
