[s-cars] POS Question

[The Gagnons]

Riff,

Looks Like a bad coil to me.  Your POS may be fine.  I would start with a
new coil and boot for the affected cylinder.
If it is skipping it is not good to drive it as the unburnt fuel will
dammage your catalytic convertor.  Does it smell like rotten eggs after a
drive?
