[s-cars] Back in the saddle!!

List Gurus!

Well turns out the POS wasn't a POS.  It was others have noted, a bad coil.  Went (actually sent the wife) to the local stealership to buy the part today.  Putted to and from work on 4 cyls (what a bummer!) and got down to swapping it out after dinner.

First off, is there a written procedure for this?  If not, I can see why.  It was a pain in the tuckus!  Special thanks to Rich A. for keeping my head on straight when I paniced upon trying to figure out who to wire the new coil.  Ended up butt crimping the ends to the existing connector.  I did not have the guts to try to get the old wire out of the connector as I had visions of crumbling plastic and did not have the proper tools.  Also how does one get the new wire into the existing sheath without cutting it open?  I ended up slicing mine a partial bit down in order to get the leads through.

Anyway, roughly 2.5 hrs later the car is running like a top again!

Again thanks to all for the diagnosis.  This list is great.

Cheers,
Riff
