Re: what coil?

if your having ignition problems and want the best bet that will permenently fix the problem then i would look into the delteq system.
my car was haveing a low rpm stutter and a high rpm miss even after dozens of spark plug and wire changes and 3 optisparks, i got the opti-direct system and now the car runs better than it ever has. if i would have known about it i would have gone strait for the delteq because it saves money in the long run. i also got an increase in gas milage.

if your short on cash though i would just go with a stock replacment. it does the job fine as it is. if you wanna go fancy then i have heard good things about the msd

Re: what coil?

I've got the MSD and I love it. Never had any problems with it. Obviously very easy to do, and not really expensive.

My question is; Did it make any difference at any RPM?

Re: what coil?

For a replacement coil, I got a $19 one from Discount Auto Parts a couple of years ago. Never had a single problem with it, works great.

I don't think a $50 or $60 mail order coil is necessary or of much benefit performance-wise.
