Is this normal? Loose ignition coils
Ford Escape 2009 V6 XLT
I was cleaning the throttle body and replacing the PCV valve on my 2009 Ford Escape V6. Since access wasn’t very good, I removed the air filter box and was going to remove the intake manifold when noticed some oil residue around the ignition coils (cleaned it before recording the video, my bad).... When I touched the coils, they were loose and the bolts weren’t tightened properly. (Don't know when this could happen the car is new to me)
Maybe this is why the car takes a little longer than normal to start compared to other cars.
What do you guys recommend? Should I take the opportunity to replace the spark plugs as well?
