Re: [DMCForum] Continued: Coil Packs (Martin)

[Martin Gutkowski <martin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

No, it's a constant drive to do things better for less money and/or 
effort. Coil packs represent a considerably more efficient way of 
generating a spark. The resultant spark is better, they allow the 
dispensation of HT leads and distributors and although you say they're 
less reliable, consider that the failure of a single coil makes you 
break down. A failure of a coil pack results in a misfire (although on 
most engines, one pack drives two plugs).
