They are about 2 months old. Bought them from uneek (sp?) when I was tuning up the truck. As far as I know, they haven't gotten wet. Still have the old COPS that I could swap out individually to see if that helped.

Yea, users purchasing Uneek coils - lately, aren't having the best of luck. If you ended up with one or two bad ones in the bunch, - then that would make 3 people that ran into problems, recently!

I'm surprised, - Uneek was doing great at first. Wonder what's up. (?)

Hey , if you get a chance, -take a few pics of one Uneek coil. I never used them myself - or seen a picture for that matter. Post them or send it to me and I'll post it. That way I can tell, if they are the same as Global and Motorcraft. A pic of the top and especially the back at the connector. Do they have arrows on the bottom of the coil housing ?

If it's a hassle for you to take some shots, don't worry about it, or don't go out of your way. Only if it's easy lol. I know it's a big enough PITA just fooling around with a set that isn't preforming or working as they should.

Good Luck, - keep us updated .

Went to the Stealer this am and they diagnosed a misfire on #7 cyl. Installed a new plug and it runs great. Cost me $180 to diagnose and replace one plug. Should have swapped them all out yesterday when I cleaned the cops. My cost $30?

I need one of those computers/scanners that diagnoses problems!

I can pull one a take pix. Might take a few days until I get in back in town. I didn't see anything really different but didn't do a side by side comparison.

If you are going to buy a scanner, then I suggest you buy an tuner like the Edge Evolution or the Gryphon instead.

Not only will you get the benefits of a tuner, but they can pull your trouble codes for you, kind of like killing two birds with one stone if you ask me...

I have the Edge and love it, I think a gryphon upgrade is going to happen once i get my new exhaust.

Hell just use your iPhone if you have one, plus the adapter and the software. Ahh, it's probably still pricey. The Gryphon is nice, although the Edge had some issues early on. Since PHP's been in the picture, I think they have the bugs worked out.

Anyway, I just use a little Actron scanner. Those are like 50-70 bucks. Harbor Freight has the cheapest OBD scanner on the market. I think it's about $39. The Actron comes with DTC lookup software, not sure what HF comes with.

Yea, depends how much you want to spend.

Don't worry about it. If it's running good, you might want to leave it alone. At times , that can take discipline, - I have to lock my tools up

But thanks!

I saw where Innovate has a OT-2 to hook up to your iPhone. $179 though.

Will the Edge, Gryphon or others do more than read codes? I know the Innovate will read codes, MPG, dyno,etc. but will any of them tell me things like a plug, injector, etc. is not working?

If the iPhone worked with my LC-1 wideband in my 911 Turbo, it would make it easier to buy an OT-2.

Yea, it was $300 to hook up thru the iPhone when the software was still fairly new. Glad to see it's gone down a bit.

As far as Tuner capabilities, -not my area. I know a little, but not enough to answer your question. The guys in this forum can answer tho -

Good Luck
