They worked perfectly. (perfect is a relative term:0) I am really baffled as to what caused the false positive that the coil was defective. Any ideas out there? TJ<>< The real test would be to put the plugs back in, and see if it still fails. I would be worried that there was a broken wire going to the coil. I'm not familiar with the second gen coils, but I assume there's power, or ground, or something that can take out the coil. I would run it briefly as is, and make sure it's still OK, then put the plugs you just took out in, and run it again. I would make every effort not to touch any wiring other than the plug wires. If that's bad, I would put the new plugs back in, and try again, still without touching any other wires. That test will give you a pretty good idea if it's really the plugs. It does seem hard to believe that the plugs could both be bad, unless maybe they missed you, and died of loneliness :-) ------=_NextPart_000_0021_01C383B7.CFC42D20 Content-Type: text/html; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Message
