P1320 trouble code help

Ok my check engine slip and TCS lights have all come on three times now even after having them cleared out. I get the same code all three times which is P1320 and most people are saying this means replace the coilpacks. However most posts I have seen about it show the code with another code telling you which clynder to replace it on but I am not getting any second code. 1 time I got two codes but they were both P1320.

I know all 6 can not be bad so it would be nice to know which one was bad if that is the problem. My other concer is if I am not getting the second code does that mean the problem might be something other than the coilpacks? Anybody else had any experience with the P1320 code?

save yourself a sh!tload of trouble and replace all 6 ignition coils. If 1 messed up, its bound the other 5 will eventually at some point because they are all the same defective model. Its very hard to narrow down which one is actually the cylinder misfiring. The only way is to wipe the code and put a new coil and wait to see if you get the code again. TRIAL & ERROR. This will take couple of weeks and alot of trouble. Just my 2 rupees.

I agree. Replace the coils. I also had the P1320 code with the TCS & Slip lights at 39K. I would have replaced all six, but got the dealer to replace the two defective ones since I had purchased the car only a few months prior. That was 22K miles ago and all has been fine since.

I'm going to agree with the other 2 members. Change all 6 coils. I had the same code come up and with that code it's multiple coils. Go through Dave B and pay the $200 something and get all 6. It's very easy to change them, save your self the time, money and effort later.
