lately my ek has been like struggling a little bit when i hit the gas. ive had this problem before on my eg and it was the coil. so when i open up the dizzy indeed the coil(TEC) was all burnt up. so i swap it with a brand new one(BWD) i had laying around. i go to test drive it around the block and it start worse than before struggling and hestition around 3k-4k and 8k+.

question:
can a coil go bad from sitting around in a garage?? (since october been sitting around)
what else can be cuasing the problem??
is there a difference between TEC and BWD coil??

 

When was your last full tune up?

 

The FAQs sticky has a diagram for testing the coil. And definitely consider the spark plugs, wires, cap and rotor. Additionally have the ICM inside the distributor tested at an auto parts store.

 

never only changed the oil since ive gotten the car. i think ima do a full tune up and go from there
