my deal was my plugs werent pluged in all the way. what about your air fuel at WOT? my lean condition caused my car to feel like it was slowing down but i couldnt hear detonation. im just throwing stuff out there really. if i were u and thought the coil might be bad then jsut pull off the caps on the coil and put an old wire and plug in there and see if they all arc the same...
