craig, what does the miss feel like?  is it a stutter or hesitation?  or does it show up as a leveling off in power?

my car is a little inconsistent in power output at WOT, and it shows up as a leveling off in power.  however, last weekend, i felt several definite stutters at WOT.  i'm wondering if my coils are starting to go - my '92 has 155k miles and the coils are original as far as i know.

No

I'd 
trust 
either 
kit.  
dif 
in 
price 
is 
because 
apikol 
still
includes 
the 
coils, 
whereas 
with 
034, 
you 
go 
get 
coils 
at 
the 
stealer, 
but
use 
their 
harness.  
I'm 
not 
hot-rodded 
at 
all 
though, 
so 
no 
real 
challenge
to 
the 
system.

I 
bought 
the 
034 
conversion 
almost 
two 
years 
ago 
- 
with 
the 
115L 
coils. 
Two
of 
those 
coils 
have 
gone 
out 
within 
the 
last 
two 
months. 
Swapped 
them 
all
over 
to 
R's 
this 
weeknd 
(thanks 
Alvin).

FWIW 
- 
as 
picky 
as 
I 
was 
about 
this 
install, 
one 
place 
where 
I 
blew 
it 
was
where 
the 
harness 
comes 
up 
and 
over 
the 
cyl 
head. 
It 
wore 
through 
the 
anti
wear 
through 
sleeving, 
and 
shorted. 
The 
car 
began 
to 
exhibit 
occasional
bucking, 
then 
keep 
going, 
then 
a 
couple 
of 
days 
later 
a 
no 
start 
in 
a
parking 
lot. 
Thought 
it 
was 
the 
fuel 
pump.

Hood 
up, 
scratching 
my 
head 
I 
see 
the 
harness 
on 
the 
cyl 
head. 
Couldn't
really 
see 
if 
it 
had 
worn 
through, 
so 
I 
folded 
up 
a 
couple 
of 
business 
cards
and 
slipped 
them 
in 
between 
the 
harness 
and 
the 
head. 
Bingo 
and 
I 
am 
on 
my
way.

Called 
up 
034 
and 
ordered 
the 
#2 
harness 
- 
and 
never 
heard 
from 
them 
again.
Still 
running 
the 
hightemp 
tape 
fix.

Also, 
the 
115R 
coils 
did 
not 
fix 
my 
WOT 
miss.
