Umm....help...
WOOHOO!!!! It is alive...it is aaallliiiivvveeee....muhahaha. lol
Found my old coils off of one of my first cars, a 1988 Beretta GT with the 2.8. The looks are just slightly different, but you know what they say, if the shoe fits...
Well it did. Started with the top coil and was going to switch them with the beretta coil one at a time until I found which one was causing probs...got her on the first try, top one.
But now, all of a sudden this morning when I first went out to go start it, the temp gauge doesn't work
Man, one thing after another...lol
Time to go search the threads to see if I can find where the Temp sensor for the gauge is located...lol
Thanks all for the help!

TIP: On looking for failed coil(*)
I found that, while doing the "plug wire pulling" at the coils, w/IAC unplugged (2 min. Max) & idling that:
OOPs.. clicking the wrong buttons.
That temp sensor for the gauge... It should be near the TB, but facing the rear of the engine.
The one nearly under the TB, facing the fender is for the ECM. I have a drawing, but my Photobucket is not liking my browser blocker this morning.

Got a little bored yesterday after the post, and found the problem with the temp sensor. we, uh, kinda snapped it, as in broke. part of the sensor is still connected to the pigtail on the harness...lol, good thing my cost is only $14 for a new one.
Thank you...will keep the info handy for checking coils, I have always done the plug and play option...lol
