Coil Problems
Having some issues with the coil/wires, not sure which, but I have a rough idle and sometime it dies. I witnessed arc light coming from the wires to the coil pack and figured it was loose connection. I reconnected all the wires and inspected them to look for corrosion. There was none. I even put some dialectic lube to keep the voltage from bleeding out. Still the same issue. I am sure its the coil pack (which is a Screamin Demon I have had on there for about 3 years). Just looking for some others input before buying a new coil/wires. Oh, and I get the misfire codes as well.

Sounds like another screamin demon bites the dust... If you have your stock one try that out.

@Redfire: So if you've a stocker layin' around, what are you running? Just curious. I've got my stock unit on there and after reading the OP just may re-consider keeping it that way unless alternatives are available.

I replaced the wires and noticed an improvement but then the car went right back to doing the same things. Then a few days later it wouldn't even start, but waited a day and started right up. So it is more then likely the coil pack.

I really don't know what the attraction is to aftermarket COPs. They don't add any performance unless MAYBE you're FI and they're known for having issues. Go back to OE COPs.
