I have not, I'll order a set. I'm going to replace the coil too just for fun, it is 27 years old.

Thanks!

I'm a bit confused as to WhatYouHaveDone on Which (Yours or Sons) Van so will just

throw this out there ~ & I 'spect you know some of this but will say anyway just incase ~

Have you checked to see if the ECU PowerRelay &or FuelPumpRelay in the BlackBox

above the coil is FunctioningCorrectly ~ There are 2 Relays in that box ~ 1 Provides Power for

the FuelPump the other Provides Power for the ECU ~ They are Cheap & Easy to acquire so I

would suggest just replacing both ~ If it does not solve the issue, you will then have spares ~
