RE: 02 GT acting up after tune up

I found this, I hope it helps. Coil Pack Repair/Reinforcement for VR6 engines. It explains how to test for a bad coil pack.

RE: 02 GT acting up after tune up

first off i'd check my battery and cables...second..bosch plugs suck..no offence. alot of cars wont run properly off of them..can cause drivabillity problems...and occasionally a check engine light. but it kinda sounds like u had a problem before you did the tune up. Check the basics after you check your battery. Compression, fuel, spark.
