After being told by the local dealership that "no, coil packs never go bad, just sometimes need new boots" I finally get the truck to a competent dealership. Was referred to Maroone Ford in Margate near Miami by the guys at REM, and they turned a blind eye to the chip, filter, pulley etc... even got me a loaner Intrepid for no cost. Found two bad coil packs and plugs, plus updated the PCM, all under warranty. Glad thats fixed, as I was getting ticked off with the stumbling under load and no codes no SES nada reason apparent for it.

 

Score one for the good guys.

Well that sounds like a good dealer. Glad you got it fixed, bet you are too.

 

Cool. Now if only I could find a dealer like that around here.
