Just throw way the bad coils and keep the good coils in the trunk for emergency.

Yea, I'm going to keep all the good ones in case I need them on either Volvo in the future

I went and sprung for a new complete set of BOSCH coils and plugs. I'm not taking any chances and I don't want to go with junkyard pats going into winter. I need to be able to rely on this car otherwise I have to drive my ST and I can't have that!

Sinc eI have to replace a dead coil on my 2000 S70, I'm swapping all the coils from my nicer '99 S70 GLT and I'm going to buy new coils and plugs for the '99. They are all original to the car.

My question is; Since I'm on a budget for this car, is it OK to buy the cheaper coils and plugs, or ...

Number 1 at front if engine, that's the passenger side in Cleveland.

HaHaHa, thanks...

Well it worked. I swapped out the #3 coil with my other S70, (my winter car that im not driving now), and the issue went away. So now I'll order a new set of coild and plugs so I don't have to worry about this ...

HaHa, Nevermind, I answered my own question, I guess #3 is the one in the middle either way!

Thanks alot for the help... yep, that was what I was going to do. I took the cover off already and looked at the coils and connections, besides the plastic convolute all dried and cracked, everything looks good.

Could you guys tell me off hand what the order is on the cylinders from left to right ...

Pulled the codes and it looks like I'm just getting the P0303 which I think is a cylinder #3 misfire. Also the Check engine light is on...Then then I really get on the throttle, the car bogs down and the CEL light starts flashing at me! The car definetly doesn't like something thats going on!

It was too long ago i'm afraid...As for the pics, I posted them earlier in the thread.

Below is a photo of the label on my ETM....I also had a couple other symptoms manifest and fixed one thing...I know it's not the ABS modual, I found a loose connection on the ABS and once connected all those faults went away.

Now I have a check engine light and a slight "stumble" when I take off ...

Thanks...But I know what Wiki says, I've done the research on this myself. I also know, after working for an Auto Manufacturer for 20 years, that there are a lot of cars out there on the road that shouldn't exist. For example, a 1999 MY Mercury ...
