[s-cars] Speaking of TTRS and coils

[Jared Robinson]

and, on another note... my car had the 4.2L coils on it and one went bad and
actually killed the car.
testing it with a spark tester showed good spark
When installed, no spark, no run... no one had EVER seen something like this
before. After banging my head for a week, I sent it to my mechanic who, on a
whim, threw another coilpack in and it fired right up.
