yup turns out the spring in the cylinder 2 coil pack was rusted. Im assuming it made a bad connection. Ordered one. Let everyone else know the results.

I just find it weird it started acting up after we took it out.

After they messed with it it probably stopped getting a good connection or the springs broke. Good job finding the problem op instead of throwing a throttle body at it

Thats why I said it was odd there was no code, but can cause the same symptoms. Good that he figured out the issue was massive misfires due to a deadish coil pack

well this is what i find weird though. So a year ago i blew a spark plug in cylinder 2. It destroyed the origonal coil pack. So the one thats bad is only 8 months old. I dont really know how it can be bad already!

I try to get oem parts but when my spark plug blew i didnt have a whole lot of options. Stuck out of town. Got a heli coil put in and i got a new coil pack from Advance auto. But i already purchase the oem one. so it should be good to last a while.

Look the same. I'm guessing they are slightly different
COIL-IGN 2.0 2005 - 2007 12584368

Just noticed the price difference. Someone needs to test this. $30 difference is a lot. Especially on 4 coils. I'm guessing the resistance is different.

LNF Coil is $27 prime shipped on Amazon. Crazy Cheap. I wonder if replacing them after 100k would be ok for piece of mind.
