Were they 'thought" good, or "known" good?
I had the misfiring and hesitation on my wife's 95 E320 wagon, and finally swapped out the coils from my parts car. Cured the problem. Interesting thing was, the parts car ran fine on the wagon's coils......

Coils are tricky, I agree. I have a total of 6 coils and will probably get 3 more this weekend (they are almost free) so i'll have a few to play with,
At this point the obvious problem is the fried ETA and i'll have to fix that before any troubleshooting (I'm dropping it off at UPS and it should take about 10 days to get it back)
Speaking of BBA rebuild service, i've seen a few guys around the forums that got back defective units and had to go through the hassle of swapping other parts, just to realize BBA did not perform a bench test before sending it out. I may be able to find some links to back it up, but i really hope i get a fully working unit back.
I have a second ETA from an ASR car with 60k miles that is fried as well and 3 units from non-ASR models. BBA or someone else will probably have to fix them all and i'll list them in the classifieds.
My other concern is that the fried ETA may have burned my E-Gas module, so i ordered an extra one yesterday, just in case. I'll probably open my EGAS and do a visual inspection of the board at least, may be get my soldering gun on those old connections
