coil choice?
Hi ho. Anybody care to share about who makes good, correct igniton coils? Mine is totally stock. 1/6 seems to be acting up and might do them all (wires are getting replaced too).

Re: coil choice?
nothing wrong with the factory ones, are you sure it's not an injector issue?

Re: coil choice?
For the cost savings of using a generic aftermarket replacement, it's really not worth the chance of it being of lesser quality. It's not like it's a quick job to swap out a bad coil, after all.
