Rodger: yes, they are covered but the only way Mazda will replace them is if they run a voltage meter thingy on them. Believe it or not, most will still be "within parameters" despite burn marks on the outside of the coil packs.

i guess it depends on how you look at it. It's not worth my time to take it to the dealership. I mean I have to pull my rims off and some how make it there after work before they close. I'd rather pay the cost to be the boss..haha I took a meter to mine and they are definetly bad. Not to mention those burn marks.

the car will still run...just won't pull as hard and mpg will drop slightly. The coil packs are $24 each. You'll need 4.

It runs, but it will run better with the new packs. Hopefully it will fix my idle. People have also been dynoing low with bad ignition coils. So I don't want to look like a total tool in a few weeks with the lowest numbers..hahaha

we can have danny run the wheel and we'll put a picture of rodger tied to a fishing pole in front of him as he runs. That should motivate danny..
