Default Re: Ruff Idle ,Huge Loss of Power

Just got the new set of ignition coils . 2 of the packages had the orange replacement rubber seal that sits under the coil on the ignition module . Do I need to replace them or am I ok to use the originals because I only have 2 replacements .
Thanks

U should be ok. Use the ones from the good coils just for a bit of margin.

I called the supplier but won't know until Tuesday if they will send the 2 missing grommets. Would like to have new if possible . I can wait a little longer if I have too and then original ones actually look good and are still soft and not gotten brittle being 25 years old or more .
Thanks

Well scratch the drive tomorrow . My dog just got nailed by a skunk . Jumped in the bath with her to try the tomatoes juice trick . Whole house stinks including me because I had to pick her up and pull her off the skunk .
Not getting in the Z with this smell on me lol . Sitting up all night with her . Locked her in the front foyer with a baby gate . Poor thing . Spray got in her eyes .
Her name is Pogo by the way and she is a Beagle/ Whippet mix .

We've got two Jack Russell's that can't pass on any opportunities to "Hunt", no matter the consequences!

Use Dawn soap (cuts the oil) and baking soda. It's the oil you need to get rid of. Anything you touched in the house is now contaminated! May require professional cleaning or replacement (personal experience!)

Great news on the coils! I had same on my '91! Stumbled under load..
