[s-cars] Is cyclinder 4 just plain bad!

[chris chambers]

Ran a 1.8t coil conversion for ~ 12 months, went through 4 coils.
Built my own harness and switched over to LS2 coils, it's been over a year
now and I have not had any failures.

BUT 

Before anyone goes this route check with Mr. Swanson of TTV8 coupe fame as there are
some ECU/chipsets that evidently do not like the LS2 coils, I think he is working on a fix.


Chris 
quite happy with my LS2 system

Tony,

The #4 position
