That is what my mechanic buddy said. My plug wires are all shorting out too. After less than 3 mnths of use (just put them in). How do you test coils to see if they are broken?

The mechanic I went to sprayed some soapy water on them. We watched sparks fly from all 3 coils. Is that a "proper" procedure?

I do not remember what kind, but they are 2 months or so old. The sparks were jumping from the wires to different parts of the coils.

Yes indeed they were. The car is stuttering like mad. At idle it threatens to die all the time. But does not quite make it. I thought at first it was the ALT. But apparently its the coils.
