Post Re: How do I check ignition coils??

I also drive a 92 lesabre, and I had the exact same problem as you did. I parked the car in front of my friend's house, and 2 seconds later the car was having a seizure.

Drove the car down the road, struggling to hit the 50mph speed limit, all the while feelling like I was duct-taped to one of those massage chairs at the mall.

Every stop light made my car bounce like I had some really crappy hydraulics that were outta control.

Sadly, at the time I had just gotten the car (which was NOT TREATED WELL), and so I took it into goodyear (NEVER do this....when I got my brakes fixed they didn't clamp the line and fluid leaked out; GY blows), and they set me back 400 bucks for the ignition system replacement.


As much fun as playing with HV is, when you only have one car it isn't a good idea.

At the very least I can help you be sure that your problem is with the ignition coils.
