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.

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!!
Thanks!!

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!
