is this possible

ok so i had a 1320 which is bad coils, i reset my sel two weeks ago and it has not came back since. So, is it possible to have one or more bad coils without having an sel, my car seems to be loosing a little power in the higher rpm but that 1320 wont come back. i am wondering if that 1320 could have been caused by a bad batch of gas. and yes my sel light still works. has anybody on this site had a bad coil with no sel?

coils go bad all the time without throwing codes. It's just a matter of "how" bad they are. It may just be an occasional misfire.

How many miles ago was last summer? I would, but I do mine every 30k anyhow. It helps me see what's going on in my engine, sort of.
