I had a stumble on a BRAND NEW SET of coilpacks (2 days after install) at TTsE... It was the
one on plug #3. Replaced and good to go - for another two days... I have a stumble again, and have been too busy to dig further. It only happens between 3-4k (not lower, not higher) when on boost heavy. I don't know if it could be a plug gap or some deteriorated wiring leading to the problems. I was on OEM packs for 6 years, now have lost 3 in 3 weeks : (

wow........could also be a plug on my part.........I dunno yet.....
I drove home from Pa....and car would stutter a wee bit only on hard boost @3500-4k..........it felt rough......was thinking Dv,then,but it seems more likely to be a coilpack/plug....

so quick question... if you bought a set of coilpacks and you only used it for less than a month and
they're gone bad, is it the parts themselves bad to start with or your engine is just screwing everything up? i guess what i'm trying to ask is could those coil packs were bad from the very begining? i know it's far fetch after x amount of time used but is 3 weeks are a little too fast to have broken coil?

there are versions of the coilpacks which are more prone to failure>>>
depending the warranty period....you should be able to get it replaced for free if it is within those guidelines

as i pointed out....weekly should be covered on the warranty of the part>>>
I am on my second set of packs at 138k miles. I replaced all of them at 85k....and think of these as i would spark plugs.....will replace the ones i have more than likely by 150k or so... I have never believed in just doing 1. It seems that most that have replaced just one at a time, have problems.....just my observation...
Version E appears to be the latest...
