nope, your coil will produce spark under smaller rpm's but will cut out as it gains rpm's. so will your egr, iac, and the mass air sensor. or at least thats what ive been told.

Did you have the problem before you installed the new parts?

egr is exhaust gas recirculation valve, if it were partially open it'd cause a miss at idle and under acceleration be okay.
