FixFord F-150 — Ignition Coil Replacement Cost
What owners actually paid
The shaded middle is where half of all these repairs landed: $267 – $702. A quote inside that band is normal. Cheaper or pricier isn't automatically wrong — but it's worth asking why.
Real repair reports
These reports are a recent sample of real, paid Ford F-150 ignition coil replacement visits — quoted the way the owner and the technician actually said it.
Car owners said
“coils and plugs, check throttle position sensor”
“Diagnose rough running condition”
“Ck check engine light”
“Diagnostics-replace spark plugs and # cylinder coil”
“Diagnose and repair misfire-replace #4 cylinder coil and plug”
“Plugs and wires- had another dash light come on?”
What the technician found
“Performed vehicle inspection PCM DTC's - P0358, P0451, P06DD Vehicle has engine wiring harness and connector damage to coil on cylinder #8 Replaced spark plug, ignition coil, and connector/harness with new components Cleared fault codes and performed vehicl…”
“tech notes that all the spark plug wells were full of cruddy water and oil we washed and blew them out as best we could also the tps sensor operated between .97v and 4.77 v smoothly with no glitches or drop outs”
“Cked and found spark plug blown out----installed insert,spark plug and coil on #3 cylinder”
“To replace spark plugs and cyl #5 ignition coil”
“Replaced all spark plugs and #1 ignition coil.”
What this repair is
Each coil turns battery voltage into the spark that fires a cylinder. A failed coil means a misfire you can feel — shaking, lost power, flashing check-engine light. Shops often replace the spark plugs at the same time, since worn plugs are what overwork coils in the first place.
Is your quote fair?
If your quote lands between $267 and $702, it's inside the range where half of all real Ford F-150 repairs of this kind land — and the typical job takes about 2.5 hours of labor. Quotes well below aren't automatically good news (economy parts, or related work skipped) and quotes above aren't automatically gouging (trim variants, premium parts, seized hardware) — but both ends deserve questions.
