Get an electrical multi-meter out. Unhook the wires from #1 and #4 on the coil tower and test resistance across them. Should read 10-12k ohms I believe. Repeat for #'s 2 and 3. Anything way above or below this means your tower or pack is bad. Also, test the wires while you have the meter out. They should read around 15k. Hope that helps, somebody correct me if Im off any, Im speaking from Eclipse experience here.

did you happen to check your mpi fuse? im not sure where it is on a 2g but that could be the problem....it wouldnt explain why it died and then started again but maybe it blew the last time...id at least check it out

If you're still stuck in Maryland I may be able to help you if you believe the coil pack is bad. So if you're close to the Baltimore area, let me know if you still need help and I'll try to help you out.

Where did you order your coil pack from?

On my 99 GST the mpi (mfi) fuse is a fusable link in the engine fusebox. It is in the center of the top row and labeled "Engine". Yours should be similar. Mine is 20 amps and has a blue housing color.
