just had a dyno ran on the ECU, had an unpleasent suprise. found out that my #4 fuel injector and ignition coil needed to be replaced. the injector was 75% clogged and the coil was burnt out.anyone had similar bad luck?

 

I didn't realize that a bad coil would give you a code on the ECU. I have two replacement coils that I have to pick up from autozone today, because the coils in my 2nd and 4th cylinders are both cracked. I never recieved a code for either.

 

When you say you had a "dyno ran on the ECU" what specifically does that mean? Are you referring that you had a mechanic hook up the "Consult" computer to your car? Or are you referring to something else?

 

I figured he meant a diagnostic test. But there I go again assuming.

 

gjohson is right, my bad on the "dyno" there wasnt a code for the coil, it just came up that there was something wrong with cylinder 4, and he checked the coil by moving it to a different cylinder and then he found out it was bad too when the computer said there was something wrong with 2 cylinders

 

i didn't know autozone sold VE coils....how much are they????

 

They are $60 for the front and I believe $62 for the back. I just picked up two yesterday that I had ordered on Saturday. Car runs great now!!!

 

i know what an injector is, ive replaced a few before, but what is this coil that you guys speak of? its obviously not the ignition coil that sends juice to the distributer.

 

on the ve there are six ignition coils one for each cylinder its soppose to provide less spark loss than with spark plug wires

 

interesting
