[s-cars] 5 new coils

[James Murray (QA/EMC)]

Coilmuncher, which coil did you swap with? the one I sent you was my #2 coil, just wondering if you swapped with the right one... but then again if you went from 5psi to 12-15psi it obviously improved. Curious that you can't identify the bad coil... before you outlay the cash, is it possible to check the POS device? I'm wondering if that has a contributing factor... I would assume the POS either works or doesn't but perhaps one of the channels is flaky? 

What coil testing procedures have you and the rocket scientist/mechanic done so far?

Not sure the price now, but a while back www.germanautoparts.com had them for $105 each.

/Jamu.

P.S. Dealer part number is: 034 905 101 (ignition coil, including spark plug connector)

So looks like I'll be in the Baloney club of "5 new coils" afterall...
I sorta figured that to be the case but hoped for the short-term
elcheapo fix.  

Swapped in a Jamu-of-Canada donated used one the other night with
Rossato.  As the the pull-the-injector-and-run-WOT method of trying to
isolate the offending coil was inconclusive we instead relied upon
uberkeen Sesame Street Diagnosis (SSD) of (sing along now) "which one of
these things doesn't look like the other" as we compared the resistance
readings of the 5 and then their conductance readings to try to
determine the failing unit.  

Unfort. this only 'improved' my miss situation not solve.  Hey I can now
build more than 5 psi before sputter, but only 12-15.  Makes me think @
150k the other 4 are on well on their way out.  Each have a bluish car
to the outer black case, my guess is they're all toasty.

Baloney...  what was yer source for the 5.  IIRC you found them hovering
just-sub $100 clams somewhere?  Part of me is bummed by the $500
impending outlay... the other is giddy (as you were) @ prospect of lotsa
boost again.  Like it needs to be faster.  

Looking forward to it.  Maybe I'll tackle it after vacation.  Hey it'll
keep Serge from returning it to me @ //SFest with smellybadclutchbake
again at the veryleast right?

-Paul missing, and missing boost K.
