Unusual that both coilpacks would fail at the same time, did they have underside cracks by chance????
If you found two bad plug wires, I hope you replaced the entire set with OEM, or like kind, designed to take the double work load that our "waste spark" ignition system puts on them!!!!

I did replace all 8 plugs and wires, OEM like. I didn't see any cracks on the coils, the only thing I noticed was the four outputs on each coil had three Shiny metal contacts and on Dull contact. Also, there was a bad wire going to number One cylinder on the Left(passenger side) and I believe the number Three cylinder on the right(Driverside).
Thanks to all of your inputs,
Matt
