My 99 is back on the road and has the dreaded stumble/idle miss that has been linked to a bad coil. There is no MIL/check engine light and no stored trouble codes. So.........
How can I find the failing coil? Easily? Any tricks?

Stumbles always generated a particular cylinder misfire code for me.
Sorry I can't help.

You should be able to test resistance.. Just give that a try, you might try checking all of them hot and cold since that could have some relevence to the problem.

I usually just kick the rear driver's tire 2 or 3 times a month to keep the stumbling at bay.bullittandy wrote:My 99 is back on the road and has the dreaded stumble/idle miss that has been linked to a bad coil. There is no MIL/check engine light and no stored trouble codes. So.........
