Hey guys,

I have been having this problem with my max. Sometimes when I am at a stop(with the car in drive), the tach goes down to 500 and the car slightly shakes, like it is out of gas or missfiring. Has anyone else had this problem?

Also,

The service engine light started blinking this morning and it turns out that I need a new ignition coil, which thank god is covered on my extended warranty. Has anyone else had this problem as well? The car has 75,000 miles on it.

 

On a 99..yes, that's no surprise. You did good making it to 75k.

 

Is there a topic on this already...I am trying to find out what causes this.

Thanks,

Matt

 

Its common on the 99's. Happened to me. If you want to know more about it, try doing a search for ignition coil failure. You should find a fair amount of info on it. Good luck!
