Ignition Module & Coil Pcikup Assembly

It requires more ability to type than to swap a TFI.

The PIP is more involved, as the gear can fight you. A bearing splitter and jaw'd puller work well in concert (the splitter holds the gear, the puller removes the gear via the splitter). A common route is to get a reman'd dizzy at the parts store. Just be sure it has a new PIP on it (if the PIP on cores tests ok, the reman' companies often leave the old one there. That's a reason for the LLT warranty).

Anyhow, If you have a spare afternoon, we can help you where you get stuck and save you a TON of cash.

I will ask: Did the dealership say if this was a solution or a guess. It sounds like the latter. Generally TFI failure is heat and RPM dependant (not speed dependant). And PIP failures tend to be an on/off thing. The car will just shut off on you, or you'll go to start and it won't.

I'm not sold on it being a TFI or PIP issue myself. Let's see what the other smart gents think.

One more thing: If you have a code scanner (that can view PIDs), you could see if it can pick up the anomaly. Stream while it bogs and compare this to a non-bog stream.

And do you run cats?

Good luck.
