"Odd" thread resolved!

IT WAS THE COIL! THE GODDAMNED COIL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I put my buddys coil on tonight and the car started right up and ran perfectly. Made a few runs with it up and down the highway, and it was perfect. I'm so skeptical though, I'm so afraid this is just a freak occurance!
Anyone know how to test a coil???

I don't know how to act!
It's been a couple months!

THANK YOU! to everyone who tried to help me! I could not have done it without your support! Especially you, Chris! I REALLY appreciate it! Mustangworks rules!

Another person falls to MSD, this is why I don't trust them for fords, heard too many bad things.

Joe - great to hear that you've got it figured out! Sorry I didn't pitch-in on the original thread, but it was way over my head. Especially with Chris, et al involved. (That guy really knows his stuff!)

Now the only thing that really stinks is that I have that same coil! Oh well, at least I'll remember this post if I ever have the same type of issue.

Take it easy,

I can't really say anything bad about MSD. This was the only problem I've ever had and that coil was 6 years old, and was abused. **** happens I guess!

Joe -
