I purchased one from AutoZone put it in on Saturday ran great till Thursday. Then driving in to work it just lost all power and ran like crap. I Replaced wires Still ran crappy thought to myself can't be the coil again. Brought to the dealer they confirmed it was. My question is why would it go bad in less than a week dealer says the part was the problem. Though I don't know where the garage got the part the first time it likley wasn't from Ford and it lasted a while. They said if it goes bad again they will try to find the cause. Well I pick the car up Tomorrow well see what happens. If you have any sugestions I would be happy to hear them. 95 Contour 110K / Tranny slipping / Steering Play / Non-functioning door locks/ Replaced Both front Wheel Bearings exactly 1year apart/ Replaced coil at 105k/spedo cable and sensor twice /Did TSB repair on Parking brake works fine now/Alpine CD Deck.

I may as well put plugs in though they don't have that many miles on them under 20 k and they were Platnums.

I'd replace them again, too. -Lance Lance Kinley CEG Webmaster 95SE, "Official CEG Beater" Quaife, SVT parts, ST200 wheels, SS Y-pipe I perceive you to be a stand-up, rational individual...
