Most will say that it doesnt really matter, but it seems to me that if your going to replace somethin, you might as well go with a better aftermarket part. MSD, Granetelli, Accel, and MotoBlue are all decent brands. The main thing is to check to see that there is as low of a resistance as possible. If you dont hate rpmoutlet, they usually have COP kits for pretty cheap.

well can you help me........if my car is idleing it sounds great but in the back ground you can hear a puff every now ...next thing driving at a constant rpm ex 4th gear 55mph cruising there is a small power surge every so often small enough not to cause any problems but big enough to feel... some say plugs, some say coils, some say o2? opinions? before i spend a bunch of wasted money

under acceleration the surge is or seems to be obsolete

could be a couple different things. I would take it to a shop and have them plug it into their comp and read the spark each cylinder is getting. That will tell you if it is COPs or plugs. If not a fuel filter is always a cheap guess that isn't a waste either way.

cassimus

ya i have the fuel filter i figured with 91000 on it she might enjoy it

baino

Yeah i think that wouldnt be a bad guess. Good luck to you on the filter swap, if they dont get changed often, they tend to be a pain to pry off

cassimus

thats what automotive shops get paid for lol today im getting the skip addressed with a diagnostic and getting the fuel filter replaced

if you get coils do not get them from rpm outlet. I purchased some from them and it took a month for them to get to my door.

cassimus

i wonder if you called them to put a voice on your order instead of another work order number maybe you could get it pushed through

I doubt seriously that you'll notice much of a diff if at all between OEM and aftermarket. I have quite about of money spent on my car and more worried about power per dollar than most and I went with a cheap set of new coils on ebay for $85/ set of 8 w/ a 2 year warrantee.
