No wonder my car was jerking at low rpms and accelerated poorly from a standing stop. I had the coil for about 7 mths. Those of you that had it for a while might want to check yours just to be on the safe side. 1996 GL Zetec KKM Air Filter,Brembo Rotors,KVR Brake Pads,Koni Struts,Eibach Springs,Focussport,Spark Plug Wires,Accel EDIS Coil,Speedo with a tach,BNMotorsports white face gauges ,E&G Classics Billet Aluminum Grille,B&M Shift Knob,Richbrook E-Brake Handle Cover,98+ Sail Panels,PIAA 510 fogs,Badgeless

You need to buy some greese and gunk alot in there. Talking about the terimals and boots of the spark plug wires and coil......The low end jerking is from miss firing in the wire from the coil, plus make sure there is not heat deteration from the excess jerking and heat.. email me any questions Chris Bauer - VP T.C.R.
