If you're at 100K miles then it's also time to change the spark plugs. If the plugs are okay then the least expensive COPs are on eBay, locally they run $50-$70 each. You didn't tell us the specs for your vehicle so we cannot give you a link to the correct COPs to buy, you'll have to search for them yourself.

All new plugs and all coil packs and labor on a 98 ran $600, (read taken) I was on the road, so wife was under the gun to just get it fixed. Ouch.

It had done it before way in the past, sputter and lost power, coded as bad coil pack. The back side spark plugs are a PITA, have fun.

If you change a plug, change the matching coil pac.

Its got 207,000 and runs like a champ.
