I want to make my newly acquired '90 245 reliable for my wife(earlier post). I've had 2 coils go bad on 2 different 240's(tends to leave one stranded). I'm thinking of just replacing the original (149k mi) on this one, although it's $72. (I think the earlier years are cheaper). My wife can't even turn a screwdriver, otherwise I would keep a cheap spare in the car. Things like the AMM and ECU are a little too expensive to do this. Thoughts?
