Ignition Coil Replacement
i recently did the ignition coil replacement,
and the "marbles in a tin can" noise is gone.
as everyone else mentioned before, it's an easy
DIY project. for those who are out of warranty
and have the ignition coil problem and are looking
to replace them yourself, i took some pics of the procedure
if you need them.

Is this the noise that you get when you start your car after it has been sitting for a few hours (it sounds like marbles in a tin can type of sound)..b/c i have been getting this on my 03 since i got it and when i took it to the dealer those fu*?#@ said that it needs to happen more ofter and stay on longer for them to do anything about it.

i got the noise intermittently when in 3rd,4th, or 5th gear starting around 2500-3000 RPMs. got it all the time going up hills. never heard the noise while in 1st. also, with the noise was a feeling of a loss of power. i noticed it a while ago but the dealer could not locate problem. finally, my engine light came on. btw, my car is a 2k SE 5 spd.
