Ignition Coil fun! - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

So, I think my ignition coil may be going bad. I get a wonderful crappy stutter anytime I get on the throttle. Especially (as in, it's worse) if the car is under load like when I'm turning, or if I'm in a higher gear than I should be.

I know it's got to be eiher fuel or spark related. So I replaced all the plugs, and the distributer cap and rotor button. Plugs looked perfect though which I didn't expect. The ceramic on the #4 plug was *slightly* browned, but other than that, they were perfect. Replacing that stuff had no effect.

So, I'm left with either an injector problem, or an ignition coil problem.

Anyone have any ideas?
