Darn, I hate that it sends it if you accidentally hit enter! Sorry.

I've been trying to diagnose my rich running '89 and having eliminated a lot of things, I thought I might have a weak coil. I had a spare used coil from an '88, but when I checked Groton, etc, they sell a different coil for '88 than for '89. But I decided to try it anyway because I thought it couldn't hurt. When I took the existing one out, I was very surprised to see that it had the same numbers on the top as the one from the '88! I don't really know the history of either coil, but maybe my '89 has had the wrong coil in it since I got it last October.

Does anyone know if Bosch 1 220 522 011 is right for an '89 ? If not, could the wrong (or even a weak) coil mimic rich mixture by causing misfires ? The engine does idle rather roughly besides the fouling of plugs and bad milage, etc.

Thanks for any help.
