53708, Installing MSD ignition coil today...
Posted by jeffgsu, Jun-23-03 10:14 AM
I'll be installing my new msd coil pack after work today. Is there anything specific I should know before I do this?

Obviously unplug the battery, but anything else?

Hopefully this will fix my hesitation problems!!!!!!!!

thanks

maybe just add some new plug wires if yours are kinda' old...or a small diam.

i replaced the wires and plugs about a month and a half ago.

I remember not buying the cheapest wires so they should be ok. Thanks for the advice though.

so i put the msd coil pack on and it runs great. seems to have fixed the problems of hesitation but it did it once on the way to work this morning. I so frickin sick of this hesitation crap, and throwing money into parts on my car that probably were ok to begin with. Anyway it runs a little better and doesn't jerk near as much.

i had a bad o2 sensor once and got it replaced. it was the rear o2 sensor. seems like if that was going bad or on the blink it would trigger a cel sometime.
