Update and WARNING...Coils Posted by SaabAficionado [Email] (#758) [Profile/Gallery] (more from SaabAficionado) on Thu, 18 Jun 2015 11:27:40 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
Due to a shuddering under acceleration, I replaced 2 coils (on my 2004 Aero) with the least expensive ones I could find from one of the site sponsors. HUGE mistake. While the car never registered a single misfire occurrence with the original coils, when I put the cheapies in, the car immediately registered multiple misfires and backed my boost back to about half on the dash gauge. After a few days the car check engine light flashed and engine began shuddering badly. Hada pull over. Luckily Anders had seen this before and suggested I get original Saab (Mitsubishi?) coils to replace the cheapos. I did and it fixed everything immediately. No codes, no misfires and full boost.
Don't be a putz like me. Pay for the good stuff :-I
