Has it thrown any codes? What are the symptoms? Your profile isn't filled out do you have an auto or manual?

I'm a bit confused, what do you mean by changing the coil on an ecotec? Do you mean the module, little box on top of the motor secured by a couple screws?
I dunno, anyways- there are other areas at that milage to be considered, one is the fuel filter.
Have the fuel pressure tested at the fuel rail, if its below 50psi, the fuel system is the prob, the filter is the cheapest and easiest, and if you need a fuel pump, you'll get one anyways. Take it to a dealer, their scanners can monitor misfires and injectors in real time.
