misfiring then coil pack fries
Saturday, November 11, 2006 8:53 PM
So this is the secound time in under two weeks a coil pack has gone on my car? i cant figure out wth is happening and why. after my engine blew i rebuilt the head everything seemed fine, i also replaced the coil pack. this will be the third coil pack(new) that ive had to purchase. its almost to the point i will put a new one then trade it in fast, unless i can figure out wth is causing this issue so far nowon ive taken my car to can figure it out.(note: i cant even start my car and a tow from where i live costs over 200 bucks)

I know of a Buick Regal that blew a coil pack, it was cause by the Ignition Module, I suspect this is what's happening with yours.

They changed the Coil pack first and when that failed again put in another coil pack with a new Ignition Module. This permanently fixed the problem.

The first (changed) coil pack was replaced under warranty--I never did find out why (Or how)

How old are the plug wires? Mine unknowinlg 'went south' -- resistance WAY up -- and fried both packs. Engine ran like sh!t.
