Ive been hitting the junk yards, trying to find a coil. I got one off a 93 2.0 Hyundai. Im pretty sure it will work. My problem is its, a square plug and my harness has a triangle plug. Can I swap the coils off the hyundai coil pack and put them on my coil pack with the right plug???
 
You'd be better off buy the coil on plug setup from Dejon Tool for 300, I almost to purchase one not to long ago. Come to fing out it was my power transistor gone bad so you might wanna check that first man, you'll know if it's bad if you only have spark on 1 and 4 pm if you have any questions pretaining to this problem ok bro holla back...........
 
My application does not need the coil on plug set up. Ive read into it a lot and the stock ignition is good for a good amount of power. My ecu used to throw a ignition coil code and the motor would start to miss fire but it would go away. Now its always throughing a ignition coil code so im pretty sure it is that. I already bought the hyundai coil, now I just need my first question answered if anyone could help.
 
Like I said before CHECK THE POWER TRANSISTOR I HAD THAT SAME PROBLEM BEFORE and come to find out it wasn't the coilpack itself, thas why I asked you was it misfiring on cylinders 1 and 4?
 
How do I actually know what cylinders are fireing. Pull the wires off and while its running and check that way(been shocked doing that before)? Also where is the transister located and how do I test it.
 
The PTM is directly below the coil pack on the side of the intake manifold.

If you look at your original coil pack and the Hyundai one you should be able to figure out how to take them apart and swap coils. It should boil down to the wiring on the bottom and the bolts holding the coil into the bracket for the coil pack.

I'd put money on the PTM cause my 1g had the same crap going on and I thought it was the coilpack THANK GOD I didn't blow the $300 for the COP setup because the PTM only cost me $2 bucks from the local Dsm junk yard LOL!!!!!!!!
