Comment: I have proven that a coil with shorted turn will cause a stumble BUT be affected by new plugs "until" the new plugs get some time on them.
Then you are right back to the original problem coil.
New plugs can fool you into thinking the issue is solved.
Reason:
The issue is low coil voltage on one cylinder during the operation of the EGR system .
New plugs make it easier to fire the cylinder until the new plug starts to get erroded.
The plug errosion happen much more quickly then anyone would think.
New plugs have sharp edges on the center electrode as well as the ground strap.
When their edges begin to lose there sharpness, it keeps taking more and more coil voltage to fire the cylinder.
This is why new plugs can cover up a bad coil for a short time.

Dang Bluegrass... I have read many of your replies to others, and I will admit you seem to have much knowledge on our topics, but that was kind and civil. You just got a you're ok award ..
