coil packs

[dhen]

I have a set of coil packs that had one (or more) that were failing intermittently. I had another set that I replaced them with that works for now, but these things are also pretty old.

Anyway, I have a couple of questions.

1) Since the problem was intermittent, is there any way I can test them off of the car? I know I can put them on the engine and test them, but as I said, they didn't always fail right away so it's hard to track down.

2) I read that CA18DE coil packs will work. Is this true?

Thanks,

Darian

Have you given any consideration to doing a lsx coil conversion? In my opinion thats the best way to go for coils.

That sounds interesting. Do you have a link on how to do it? I might be a nice winter project.

Thanks

Get new ones. Leave the cover off and let them breathe. I know it looks like steamed a**, but cooking them is no good.

How could those look like steamed a**? They are red! Well, I assume a steamed a** would probably be red too, I was just implying that the red coils look better than the stock ones.... you know what, never mind.

I've missed you buddy. Well, at least your posts anyway. Does your car run yet?

It looks too busy without the cover.

Alas it does not. I am eagerly awaiting my first paycheck after college, but its going to take a lot more than that to get my little car back on the road. Did you know titanium connecting rods are $1000/ea?! Thats gonna take like, soooo much saving!

Here is a write up for a RB, it is essentially the same process for the CA. Just wire colors will be different.

Looks like there's some tuning involved. Is this absolutely necessary?

The tuning is, yes.

Yeah man, I am currently enjoying (not enjoying) the glamorous (not glamorous) world of unpaid internships. Please kill me quickly and end my suffering. I have been promised a few thousand dollars before Christmas, so here's hoping. If I don't get paid I might have to burn this mother down.
