Yeah, you can get it in the "Gay Ricer" section at any automotive store. MY GOD! This **** is EXACTLY what ricers do to their cars! "I want to paint everything a color that's different than what it came with. That way I'll be kool!"

hmmm thank you for answering the question and keeping the threat withing the subject(not)

i tested the coil and the wires by exchanging the leading wiries from the plugs to the trailing and the started shooting spark right away there for leaving me no dought that leading coil starts to fire and in a minute or less it stops

guys if i hadnt tested them i would not be telling you that it doesnt fire correctly i am a printer and computer technician i know that some people forget to check the stupidest things ever but i dont do that
i check first ask questions later therfore i speack with facts

No need to get angry. Sometimes people don't check ****. I work with computer techs all day I am one. Some are quite stupid. (not refering to you). I'm tryin' to help. I really sounds like your coil is possibly @ucked. I wouldn't have clue what the hell could have caused it though.
At this stage I don't now what to tell you other than pick up a coil at a junkyard or something, and test it with that. If that one doesn't work, then it's some where else. Hopefully you can find one cheap or upgrade to something better.

So, I take it you've checked that the coil still receives voltage after the one minute, so its obvious your coil is fucked. Put in a new one. Why do you need advice to figure this out?

Then maybe you could check if the coil was still getting current...

If you knew the coil was getting current, but the current was cutting after 1 minute, why would you change the coil and hope for a fix. If a coil doesn't get current, its not gonna spark. replacing the coil wopuldn't change this.

Oh well, congrats on getting your car fixed.

i tryed the coil because it was given to me for free
if you were given a free coil wont you have tryed it yourself too?????? like i said there was current flowing and when the coil got hot it would stop reciving showing a engine light making the computer stop sending the voltage to it there if you must know so much....... hope you know im just messing around with ya
