B/c yours are not bad is not a reason to post that they did not have a common problem with them, cuz they had plenty of problems ..ask anyone who had the Early Blue ones....NOTORIOUS
...and we do not swap out ANY parts until we know they are bad.

Actually, I quoted my indie on the coil failure issues based on his personal experience...since I only tool around on my own vehicles, I don't have enough background history to dictate what is and what isn't normal...should have stressed that from the start.
And I know you personally don't just swap parts out...I was referring to the premise of which is cheaper if one was to go about diagnosing a problem by doing just that. Sorry for the misunderstanding.
Ironically, now that ksing44 mentions improved performance with the weather, it really does point to coils...a corroded primary terminal on my VW coil gave me the same grief during moist weather...no issues when sunny.
