Default ignition coil 7 control circuit?

This code popped up yesterday and I'm not sure where to start, has anyone had any of these coil codes pop up? Thanks.

Yep, in fact I have Coil G (7) and Coil H (8) circuit malfunctions. Been chasing this one for over a month. Thinking I might have a bum ECU

Well, I unplugged my battery and took out the pcm, cleaned everything and checked everything over. Put it back in and rode around for a half hour scanning for codes with hp tuners and it never came back. I hope it's gone but I really didn't see anything out of ordinary. I'll cross my fingers.

i had the p0357 pop up off and on for a year then the p0358 showed up recently. I would clear them and no problems. Then one day it just went to **** and started missing. Unplugged battery, retuned, you name it. I think the PCM just got toasted and the associated drivers are weak.

Anyone have some idea how to diagnose this or is it usually a junk pcm?

If you guys need a spare ecm set to your vin, just give me a call, i have them in stock and can ship them out same day. 1999 - 2004 ecms are usually $85 shipped.

So I think its gone, I swapped the entire coil rack from side to side and it seems gone. I think my problem is my drivers side ground wire on the back of the head is very short pulling on the harness quite hard, I am going to make it a little longer, it broke when doing heads/cam and I just put a new connector on it. It was pulling very hard on the coil pack harness.
