Hmm ... Leaving you stranded in the boondocks? Any difficulty locating the problem coil?
Mine has had no problems of that sort, so far.
Not the boondocks but it was 5:15 in the morning and I had to call my wife to come get me which cost me "karma points".
I returned in my spare vehicle with a scan tool, 10mm wrench, flashlight, and spare part from my stash. Was only 20 minutes late to work.
Then I rode my motorized bicycle to retrieve my spare vehicle when I got back home. All tied up in a neat messy little bow.
I had my 2azfe camry pop a coil but it at least ran on 3 with a blinking CEL. Switched out my spare coil on that thing by starting at cyl 1 and moving one-at-a-time until it ran good.
