Default 3rd time damn coil went out
iight, this is the 3rd time my ignition coil went out. I have no clue why it keeps going out. The first replacement was like a Autozone special p.o.s and I think the second one was also. 3rd one got smart and got bosch, yet it went out on me. WTF IS GOING ON!!!!!

there gotta me something causing these damn coils to go out. Any ideas?

That is strange. It's quite rare for a coil to go bad.

Just bad luck. There is no special reason why a coil would go bad.
