Reported at 52,000 miles, November 2003 CrashInjury

I just had to replace the 4th electrical spark plug coil (out of 8) in my 2000 lincoln ls. Coils usually don't fail. This one did when I was driving up into the mountains. Thankfully, I wasn't passing anyone at the time, otherwise, things may have gotten ugly. Each repair costs about $300, so for all eight cylinders, I may end up spending $2400. I've never had a car go through coils before.
