I have to get new coils first. Two parts companies have jacked
me around
so far. Pep Boys and O'Reilly. Said they ordered them and they did
not come in. Price was $37 each. Looks like I'll try mail order
from
Advanced Auto parts next. Cheapest price ($21)for the BWD E1001
so far.

Harley did you get your new coils? Do they look different?

Yep...got them the day after I ordered them, and had them
installed that same night.

They looked identical to the ones I took out (except for the dirt
and the white burned marks!). Don't know if they're the improved
versions or not, but the car starts and runs, and seems like the
engine is smoother or faster accelerating...something seems
better (my testing did indicate that the two trailing coils were
bad that may be the difference).

BTW...they ARE BWD coils, but I see from a Google check that BWD
has merged with Intermotor now, and the boxes just said
Intermotor on them.

Haven't taken it out of the garage yet (except to move it over to
park the Tucson inside), as we've had a couple of days of snow
here...been driving Connie's Tucson...needed it's 4 wheel drive
coming back from Dad's in the snow we had today.

BTW...if you can't get those coils out there on the left coast,
let me know, and I'll see if I can get any more from the guys here.

Harley

Thanks Harley. I'll let you know what happens.
