93 S-4.....Flakey ignition coil?

[Robert Myers]

Jorgen,

Agreed.  The "plug wire" (looks sorta like a black rubber cigar) or plugs 
are the most likely culprit.  However, I replaced all 5 plug wires and the 
miss under boost remained.  The next step was to swap each individual coil, 
one at a time, with a new coil.  I got lucky.  I swapped nuber 5 with no 
gain.  Swapping number 4 totally solved the problem.

It's great having my S6 back running right again.
