possible bad coils
I will check it out first thing tomorrow morning, but I think I may possibly have bad coils.
what other options do I have other than oem coils?
i know there are some upgrades out there, but most of them seem out of my price range. (okada, bhr upgrade)
any suggestions?
p.s.- i already have racingbeat's ultra spark plug wires (not installed yet), which I would like to use.
thanks in advance.

You can test the coils with a meter.
Use attached pic below:
Measure terminals A (+) B (-), 0 ohm (infinity) is abnormal
Measure terminals B (+) C (-), 0 ohm (infinity) is abnormal
Measure terminals C (+) A (-), 0 to several kilohm (continuity) is abnormal

recently i felt a loss of power and idle fluctuates abnormally during stop and go traffic.
it was never like this before.
considering i got new spark plugs only about 7000 miles ago, after doing some reading here, I'm suspecting that it MAY be the coils.
btw-how much are the bhr coils anyway?

my 8's at around 38000miles, so i'm thinking it's a good time to change them out before i get stranded in middle of the 5 freeway at 3am (which happened with my old integra several years ago.

102k miles.
i changed the coils at 65 k miles, but turns out they were fine.. the new ones were a new revision and worked just the same..
it is luck of the draw, and driving enviroment..
btw,
the new revision coils that were on the car are for sale..
