Jim,

Have you contacted Potterman? He might be able to help on the cost of the
coil pack. I have not really followed your problem too much...but I have
been having the same prob on my '95....it has since stopped over the past
week. Going to replace the plugs and wires this weekend though hoping the
hesitation does not come back....good luck!
