Power issues, coils need replacement?
 

Gents and Ladies,
I have a weird issue. My Shinka has been noticeably down on power lately. It's taking a lot more cranks to start up (struggling and I can smell fuel every time now) and in 1st gear it all but dies even when I stomp the gas ... does this point to a coil issue? I'm at 56k on stock coils, never been changed out.

56k on the origional ignition? hell yes change all plugs, wires and coils. do you get a flashing cel? check your cat while you are at it

Cool thanks. Recently replaced plugs and wires, but the mechanic didn't recommend coils. She sits in the garage all winter and this is the first summer in 3 years where she's getting regular drive-time... finally working from an office is fun :)

Thanks!!

replace coils asap and inspect the cat

So my local Car-X says $59/ea for the coils ... do we have a source for less $$? It makes no sense to me to buy 1 at a time.

EDIT: Just bought a new set of coils + plugs on Amazon. $164 for everything ... looking good. Can't wait to get the power back!
