bad coils???
anyways had my car dyno'd.....it was sputtering.....so there was another car at the dyno so we pulled the both coils off and replaced both of mine....sputtering went away.....tuned car great....everything was fine.....gave back coils put old coils back in ...till i ordered a new one from dealer.....purchased 1 coil....didn't wanna dish out the cash for 2...figured it had to be one coil......got the new coil.....replaced one coil...still sputtering.....switched second coil with new coil.....still sputterinig...figured it wasn't the coils and was the coil cable to spark plug...had to be...correct?.....ordered wires from dealer....replaced those today...still sputtering.....crazy....the only thing i haven't replaced was the second coil....could both coils be bad?.....i guess its a possibility...i ordered a second coil...will replace tommorrow when it comes in.....the car ran fine with someone elses coils in it.....this is crazy....2 coils?.....i read a post about some AEM problems with coils....any suggestions....the dealer said they've never even sold a coil before for an EVO.....very strange....ideas?...hopefully when i replace remaining stock coil everything will be fine

car now runs great and strong.....gapped the plugs down to 22 and the sputtering went away...then my guy tuned a little.....its sick now...i don't know how the guys with over 500hp handle all that power...i've only got around 330 rwhp and its a rocket
