Here were the symptoms. Check engine light blinking. Multiple misfire. Cyl 4, 7 misfire. Loss of horsepower, rough engine running. I took it to the dealer and they hosed me for $110.00 to literally hose my wires. They said that one of my wires was arcing and wanted $952.00 to replace all 8. I decided to get it out of the dealer immediately. I checked online and realized that the 4 and 7 leads are right next to each other on the same coil pack. Intuitively, the coil pack is shot. This is a $700.00 part at the dealer. So they were going to nail me for another $700.00 + install for the coilpack as soon as they got the intake manifold off and I was trapped. So I went to EBAY and bought a used but tested coil pack for $100.00 + $15.00 Shipping. On another website I purchased new plug wires and a upper intake manifold gasket for about $95.00 including shipping. Now I have to figure out how to pull it all apart and snap it all together. It is not brain surgery, so I want to do it myself. With the $1,500.00 I save I will take the family to Florida in the Landy.
