Do you have the plugs gapped correctly?

yep everything gaped right. the spark is really weak at the coils and even weaker at the plugs, im thinking it has to be the coils. is it likely that they would go out in a 4month time span? mostly just sitting.

hummm. intresting mr watson.

the plugs/wires & coil packs are all brand new, right? factory oem spec? did you test thre ohm resistence in each coil pack? the cas wouldn't cause a weak spark only rotten idle or prevent the car from starting. have you checked the relay? or tested the power and ground at the wireharness where it meets the coilpack to see if its weak before it reaches the coilpack?

my first thought was gaped plugs. i'd double check those. keep us posted
