Re: symptoms of a bad coil pack

is the SES light on? just scan it see what cylinder is misfiring, check the wire to plug layout, and if you want swap the coils packs and see if it follows to the next cylinder... you can measure the resistance/ohms of the coilpack if you have a voltage tester tool..

If its that bad, you should be getting an SES light

all i did was take one plug wire off at a time at nighttime so i could see better. and i found one that wasnt sparking so i changed it and it fixed the problem.

anyhow infamous, you could buy one new coil pack and swap them out one at a time and see if it fixes your prob, then u can figure out which one is bad.

if that doesn't work i'd try the icm.

Re: symptoms of a bad coil pack

ive had a bad coil pack.

if your car feels like **** and smells like gas, thats a good sign something could be wrong with your ignition.

when i changed mine, the fuse blew. id suggest removing it before you work on the coils, and then putting it back in when youre done.

f you get a used coil pack, if in fact that is the problem, I would suggest ebay. I saw a set on there for $40, but that was for a 3.4
