I am going to have to swap coils around to see if my coils are actually bad. Was it sitting for a really long time? My jetta starts to misfire if I don't drive it for a month. Last time it did it it was only running on 2 cylinders, had it towed to the local krautkar shop and it started up and ran fine. Moisture got into the cylinders and caused the issue, that and the spark plugs were pretty old (those got changed out). Definitely could be your coils though.

Its a nice feeling knowing it has a warranty, was always uneasy with the other truck not knowing what might happen. But that moves the toy hauler back to February of next year :/ oh well. There is also alot of little things I like about the Cummins over the powerstroke and dmax. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JustinNck1 Posted January 17, 2017 Report Share Posted January 17, 2017 If the spark plug issues don't scare you, the cam phasers and timing sets will. Biggest PITA I have ever seen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Foot still needs to be higher on the peg. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
