[s-cars] Coilpacks

[James Murray (LMC)]

Hi Chad,

That makes sense since the PSO is an electronic module and most electronics
will start to act up with heat. Sometimes a coil being an electrical device
can act in the opposite manner (as I fear mine is doing). I already tried
the plug connectors so I know it's not that.

Cheers, /J.

	James,

	  When my PSO was going it would get worse with heat and be better
when cold. They're easy enough to switch though and it's a good thing to
rule out if you can. You can also switch plug connectors and check your
plugs. Could be something simple.
