Re: (240sxbobbis)
same deal happened to me a while back. One of my coilpacks would go out after the motor had warmed up. So I just unpluged them one by one until I found which one it was and swapped it out now its good as new. In the year or so my swap has been done 2 have gone bad so far.
If it dies as you are driving, it is a bad coil. If it does it after a bath, you have water down in the plug bore. No biggie. Happens to me all the time. I wash my motor like once every two weeks or so.
I've had one die on me two summers ago. Bought a new one off eBay and all is well. Try to find deals on them. They run like $80 at the parts house.
