(both copped code p1358) but my car was perfect for a week and his car didn't even make it to final stages of the tune. my tuner and another local-ish tuner have beef which I don't want to become a part of so no jumping ship or naming them. any help would be appreciated because it's been near a month and I miss driving my car and feeding commodores Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/94374-coil-signal-issues/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Replace all of the parts in the pipeline of potential failure, basically, is how I'd attack it. Expand ^^ as per your other thread on this same topic. 1 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/94374-coil-signal-issues/#findComment-1666635 Share on other sites More sharing options...
