    yer headed the right direction, backwards. I don't know about these cars in particular too well, just bought mine, can you switch coils per group or are the wiring plugs specific? starting at the plug and moving out is all I can think of, its too specific of a problem to warrant major engine sensor changes imop. check the wires controlling the coils/ every ghost I've found was something small when I was thinking big
    97 GTP / new head gaskets / plugs and wires / 180 stat / U delete / 3" cat back to v-force / rebuilt S/T / cone filter......Family car, we're not station wagon people
