Ive had 2 trailing coils die on me in 3 days and I have no clue why. I added some extra grounds and cleaned up the stock ones but thats it. Twice now the car has had a hard time starting and when it finally did, I had no tach, a sign of a dead coil. Anyone have an idea of whats causing this?

 

I did a search and found this, could it be my problem?

"I'm betting that it could be your starter or battery.. I had a situation where I would start the car, the tach would work for a split second and then just die when I first fired up the car.. As it turns out, I had a bad starter.. the starter caused me to have slow cranking speed.. fast enough for the engine to crank and fire up, however, slow enough that the ECU would think the car didn't start and so cut firing on the trailing coil, which of course killed the tach... The ECU needs to see a min ammount of rpm when the car turns over.. I know this may seem a little far fetched, however I verified this by replacing the starter and then putting the old one back in..."
