I don't know which coil needs replacing yet. Is it worth replacing the ignition, front and rear coils?
As in total it's not even £200.

Is this Karma for the FB posts and £10k repair bills on a 3200?
Hope you get it sorted. Easy Job removing Coil packs mate.
Must be. I take it all back! I'll never take the p1ss again.
Congratulations, you've now become a proper Maserati owner. This only happens when you are able to provide a photo of your car being recovered on a truck or trailer.
Yes you will. Phil deserves it and also loves the attention!

You're confused, chap, There are two *types* of coil pack (front and rear) but one coil *per cylinder* You need to replace (probably) 1 and 3. One front, one rear.

To be fair, mine have never let me down. Now I have said that expect to see one of mine on a low loader very soon.

Fate and tempted Phil
So today I found out my CX-7 has a stretched Timing chain and also my GTS won't engage reverse. Mission accomplished!

Well, Felice reported back to me this afternoon. There good news and bad news.
The bad news is that I have to pay about £40 on a one way train ticket to pick her up.
The good news is that there is nothing wrong with her!!!!
He plugged the diagnostics in when she came off the lorry, and she came up with mis firing on cylinders 1 & 3.
Which Felly said was odd to start with. He then took the coils off both front and rear to check that they looked OK.
Reset the engine warning light.
Started her up, bingo. Good as gold. Took her for a spin. All good, running fine.
Left her a while did the same thing. Started her up and she's running fine.
So in summary. She's magic!
Felly reckons she just had a hissy fit! Probably as she won't be kept in the garage for two weeks.
Happy days!
