Same here for me too... same GPSorenson Coil from AdvanceAuto, AutoLite Double Platinum Plugs and AutoLite Wire Set (black box) can't remember for sure if the premium wires come on the black box tho!

Did this 10 months ago while chasing a wild goose with a rought idle that turned out to be a crankcase pulley gone bad (linky)! I'm suire everyone remembers that one...LOL

Anyway everything is working good and solid todate. I would suggest for goodness sake to pull the Coil and inspect the casing for fractures in the plastic that could be leaking power to ground. Also on my van when I pulled the original Coil (which is still in good working order) there was a lot of rust around the metal frame that mates with the Coil brace support in the engine and I believe this could cause trouble as the Coil needs to be well grounded, altho mine didn't fail, it doesn't hurt to check.
