Tuners;
As the topic says i'm experiencing a constant failure of coil pack #4, to rectify the problem i've done the following.
Changed the Spark Plugs
Replaced all coil packs with new originals from firm (after 2nd failure of #4)
thereafter #4 has failed twice making it a total of 4 times in the space of 6 weeks, after the first 2 failures of #4 i replaced with foreign used since i want to be certain the issue causing the problem has been rectified.
for further information the car has never overheated, a mechanic advised me to change the ecu, from reading i'm also thinking that the ignition control module may be bad that would be causing the failure (i'm uncertain tho if this would cause failures in the other ignition coils as well, which i've not experienced)
i do experience also a rough idle sometimes which is intermittent and have noticed that the failure occurs mostly under heavy strain, ie. a drive up to maracas or any hill climbing etc.
i'm at a loss to figure out what next steps to try, any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
