Ran into a problem today...it took about 3mins of cranking to get the bullit to start. After it finally decided to come to life, I smelled fuel. Every time I've tried to start her since then it takes a few times (sometimes many times) to kick over and it always smells like fuel on ignition. The only things I can think of are:
A) Bad spark plug - at 75K mi I think the original plugs are still in. I was getting ready to change them anyway over x-mas break and put in NGK iridium plugs
B) Bad coil - maybe a coil misfire? When I first posted on imboc, somebody checked my carfax and it was taken in under warranty for coil missfire w/30K mi. Upon inspection of the coils, looks like 6 are the motorcraft coils (green stickers) and two are another brand/replacement (white stickers). I'm thinking this may have something to do with it.
Like I mentioned I'm getting ready to do plugs/coils over break, but I'm wondering if this maybe something more serious? I've never changed the coils/plugs in these modular motors before so I can't be sure what the problem is. Any ideas?
