    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

I'm pretty sure my coils are fried in not sure how many ohms but i know they are single coils. Can anyone please help me track down a replacement? I have scoured for hours without a good solution. And how many ohms are they? Please and thank you

Both fried, why do you think this? Ignition coils are pretty tough. Measure the primary ohm resistance on each coil- likely be in range of 3 to 5 ohms. There were some units on ebay, but the double plug lead units are much more common.
 
I accidentally bought dual coils and I have to return them. The reason I believe its the coils is because it starts and runs well until it warms up. Which I am told is a symptom of coil failure

The warmed up ignitor is more likely to behave badly than the ignition coils, but next time it does this check the primary on the coils and compare to what you get when they are cold.
 
Z1Enterprises.com sells aftermarket single out 4 Ohm coils which are pretty much direct replacements for the old coils you have now. I would get rid of them in any case and install new NGK plug caps at the same time.
