[Michael DeBlasio]

Intended Accelleration supposedly has a new supplier for these and has good pricing.

For those of you that continue to drive your car with a bad POS or coil, I
wouldn't recommend it unless you pull the connector from the injector on the
bad cylinder.
Pumping fuel into a cylinder that isn't firing isn't good for anything.
Worst of all it will start to contaminate your oil with fuel.  Gas is not a
good crankcase lubricant.
