    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Any ideas where to get these? After market or used or NOS?

Would like to keep the cost as low as reasonably possible, any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks!

I suggest you buy used OE parts. The Parts Wanted and Parts For Sale forums is the proper place for threads like this.:-\\\

BTW, the OE coils are high quality and often are blamed for issues that they are not responsible for. The plug caps are the first thing to fail, but high quality NGK replacements are available for $4 each.

Thanks for the advice. I tested the coils, and they tested ok, but cylinder 1 and 4 are firing very weakly. Could be the caps, eh? I'll check into that. I'd rather spend $8 bucks than $100. :P

I suggest you check voltage at the coils. There are lots of threads here detailing how to put a relay in the circuit to make sure your coils are getting 12 volts. Resistance builds up in the harness which results in low voltage at the coils and a weak spark as a result. Do a search for more info.
 
Hi Mr. StevieD,

Not firing well on 1 & 4? Check out this thread, just in case.

There's also lots of coil relay mod info on my website. Keep us informed.


Thank you for your indulgence,

BassCliff
