[QUOTE="JMichael, post: 326611, member: 7544"] Now that you've identified which is the failing cylinder, switch the coils and see if the problem follows the coil. If the top cylinder continues to be the one to fail after the coil switch, it eliminates the coil as a possibility. If coils test good, replace the plug wires. They aren't that expensive and if they're original, it's time to replace them anyways. Hopefully, one of these things fixes the problem because having to replace the switch box or the ignition module can get pretty expensive. [/QUOTE]
