What you should hear now is the sound of me slapping my forehead. New coil, runs great! Also, newer coils are not going to last near as long as the old stuff.
I'm getting spark though, which would indicate the coil is working. I just cant get the car to start, some times it will fire, but it doesn't wanna kick over.
