Hey Guys,

I was wondering if there was a quick simple way the check the coils on the dual spark engine. I think those may be the problem, but would like to know for sure before i spend $100 at autozone for new. thanks!

You can swap them, the exhaust side only fires at certain times, the car will run fine on just one pack. If you swap them and it runs ok, then you only have to replace the one.
