I just started from the top today. Checked the airbox, filter, accordion hose, CIS hoses, replaced a badly rotted flame trap, inspected and replaced vacuum hoses, took a multimeter and the greenbook for my engine and tested the AMM, coolant temp sensor, swapped ECU & ICU, took it for a drive and same old syptoms. Once I limped it home it would hardly rev. I could not tell if it was a fuel injection or an ignition problem but it almost had to be one or the other. I checked under the hood jiggled wires and felt around and the coil was hot. I took chance and turned the car off and in 10 seconds fired it back up, problem was still there so I left it running grabbed some tools and a spare coil. I turned off the car quickly swapped all three wires and fired it back up and she purred like a kitten and roared like a lion when I revved her up. Has anyone ever had this problem? The coil is not very old and it is a Bosch not some cheap piece of junk. Could something else cause the coil to overheat?

Thank You
