Ok that makes sense. Good detective work. I put Accel coils in back in mid 2002 and have not had an issue. As I wrote earlier I did have a similar issue to yours with the stock ones but I believe two of them were defective (a few shorted windings) because they read lower resistance on the seconaries than the rest. One thing I did have to do was replace the stock wires with 8mm because they began arcing through the insulation with the Accels. I do remember having connection issues with the new coils on the input because they came with an orange rubber like gasket. The problem was some of the plugs on the wireing harness had the orange gasket still attached. That made for two gaskets and it would not make a proper connection.
Anyway, we're all glad I am sure that you're back on the road. Good timing too. Summer is knocking at the door.=D>
