If the coils dont' show up by Friday, let me know. Jedi will (once again) come to the rescue!
I've got an extra BHR ignition kit he can 'borrow'.

yeah, if he's rolling with 2 coils at least, he should be ok. not great, but still functional. I'm not planning on doing their cruise either. Just the bbq, beach and bon fire....

I'm not sure which ones are shot, we actually have two sets of coils (one from nikko which were also ALL shot), we swapped them, mixed and match them, we tried a bunch of different things but it can't hold idle very well...

By sticking a fork in them and starting the car, holding onto the fork, and see if our hair stood up.

I kid...

We tried swapping the coils around but to no avail, we know the coils are shot because the white bubbling is the worse I've seen on any 8's. And no, it's not a bad motor.

We changed the plugs and wires but to no avail so the last thing to change are the coils.

So... I have a very bad case of insomnia...

I laid in my bed for 4 hours and I couldn't get to sleep. Maybe it's time to go find a doctor who specializes in sleep treatment.
