i tried to find the post where people were having problems with their car with power issues. the problem being under 3k rpm they had [censored] to no power, but anything beyond they had normal function from the engine. people replaced the coil, wires, plugs, fuel filter and pump only to still have this lack of low end (normal driving range) power. well i have the same problem now and i'm running out of options and money. i have replace the plugs(x2), wires, fuel pump and filter to only still have this problem. i havent tested my coil yet, not sure how.(was a helicoper mechanic for army but never touched wiring)but i came to the conclusion might be the ignition mod. what do you guys think? and one ty it? any other ideas

PS cam and crank sensors tested ok

Try this.

I metered the old coil across:

2 and 6 = 13.7K**(Way Too High)**
3 and 5 = 13.5K

Old mechanic relative, (Father In-Law)said:

Found a great deal on eBay for a Brand New coil pack.

New Coil meters:

1 and 4 = 11.14K
2 and 6 = 11.30K
3 and 5 = 11.20K

==========================================

Engine Purrs like a kitten, smoothe as silk now.
