Default Re: slight hesitation on takeoff?

Just bought an ebay cheapie.. $60 delivered

Works fine..

Not that hard to change, just need a 7mm socket and long extensions, 3 bolts

Need to also remove airbox to get your arm under there and air intake from throttle body.

It's an hours job max.

I went on a good drive the other day. piece of mind with a new coil. If hate for it to fail a few hundred km from home

Years back on an el falcon I had one just go cold on me whilst driving. Just conked out under load..

Hey f6, does your au feel stronger down low since replacing the coil or did it fix just the hesitation?

cheers, Maka
