[s-cars] help please, urgent coilpack problem

[Jake Gaty]

Thanks for the tip, Dave

I'm located just south of Portland, Oregon. It would be nice to know if there were some fellow enthusiasts around here!

 You also want to let us know where you are located and maybe another lister will let you borrow a POS and/or swap out their entire coilpack to test.
 
 Tony from EPL was nice enough to do this for me and I'm still working on tracking down a coil that is giving me issues at high boost.

Jake,

the miss can be caused by a bad coil or a bad POS, have you confirmed
it isn't a bad POS?

A good source of info is this FAQ

At the above link there is this link to diagnosing an ignition miss:

Now based that you found several splices, I would recommend making
sure you don't have any exposed wires. 


Good luck
HTH
Chris
