Model Years Affected: 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003

Average Mileage: 96,666 mi (85,000 mi - 103,000 mi)

On higher mileage vehicles, an engine misfire may develop and/or the Check Engine Light may illuminate due to a failed ignition coil. It is not uncommon to replace all the coils when the first one fails in order to prevent return trips to the repair shop.

    I had 3 coils fail withing 9 months. At the point of the 3rd failure,I replaced all remaining coils. The front 3 are child play to do yourself, a chimp with a screwdriver could do it. The rear 3, you'll wish you were a chimp due to the limited success. It can be done though, and without removing any other engine/intake parts.

    Car felt odd then the coil went out and couldn't even start the car. After getting it fixed, everything was right and felt normal.

    Check engine light came on and went off 3-4 times. Diagnostic check found coil pack needed to be replaced. No problem since coil pack was replaced.
