Need Help on 1320 ECU Code

My Service Engine Soon light came on today. I have a 2000 GXE and I took it in to have them see what exactly it was. What they found was the 1320 code something to do with the ignition. I had to make an appointment to look further into it because they were not too sure what the real issue is. Does anyone know what this could be and how much this may cost me in the end?
Thanks for any help.

Is there a way to find out if it is just one coil or is it best to replace them all? I would rather not have to spend $600.00 to replace all of them if it is just one.
Thanks,

$600? Contact Dave Burnette and I think he can get you all six coils for half that or so...

if you replace one coil ,that coil will have the the most resistance in the system and the next coil with least resistance will be faulty next until all are bad.i,ve seen it many times. just replace all 6 and shop around for cheapest coil prices..........

Get your ecu scan, it will tell you exactly which one is bad, and then you can go from there. I had the same problem a while back, bought a scanner, scanned it and it show that my #6 coil is misfiring. saves you the headache and money by trying to replaced all six of them. Good luck!
