    if you approve the job, you need to road test to confirm. used computers are bad ideas as they are specific to each car and need to be flashed to your exact car to work correctly.
    as far as the coil causing the damage, maybe.

    i would be leary of this, sounds too cheap. i would get a second opinion before commiting to this repair.
