Gnews4U :

Hello, this code usually comes back to an individual ignition coil (you have 8 coils). Each cylinder has a coil right on top of the spark plugs.

Gnews4U :

The trick is finding which one.

Gnews4U :

The best way is to have it run on a scanner or scope to see which cylinder is getting the intermittant bad spark.

Gnews4U :

A new aftermarket coil should not cost more than $60 each
