the ezk coils in the 89 are different from the chrysler coils used up to 88. the wrong coil might not get enough signal from the ignition brain to fire the correct current. contrary to popular opinion, the modern coils are not lifetime or bulletproof. the high amperage required to operate properly, plus the added draws from worn plugs, wires, etc, mean the coil can and will die. pity you can't put an ignition scope on the car, you'd be able to really see if you need a coil or not. low spark from the coil can look like too much fuel. when the spark doesn't reach 20k volts or so under load, the coil is tired. good luck, chuck.
