try getting your money back and/or try different brands. check your grounds, and check your ignition control module. If you can find a cheap control module in the salvage yard, try swapping that out first. When the coils go bad, have you tried just swapping it with another one on the car to see if the problem follows the coil, or if it stays in the same position? If you cant track it down, try finding cheap salvage yard parts to test it before spending $$$$ on new parts. You can always buy a new one after you find the problem and then you'll have a cheap spare.
