car stumbling
jack just got the car out of storageand it started breaking up and shutting off when i give it gas.i thought the ignition module was bad so i took it to auto zone and they checked it and said it was ok. checked the coil pack ( new 2yrs ago) and it is only showing 8.5, 8.4, 8.7. put old coil on and read 11.5, 11.6, last terminal doesnt read anything (thats why i replaced it ) i also checked the maf by tapping on it like i read on some of the forums and it stumbles most of the taps.(at 2000 rpms) anyway to be sure if its the coil or maf before buying new parts?
thanks mike s

In my experience, a bad coil pack won't give youthe symptoms that you have. It wouldn't cause the car to shut off.
A bad MAF on the other hand would. You said that you gave it the tap test. Do it at idle. Tap it with a screwdriver and see if it stalls or stumbles. It shouldn't do anything. You may have to run it for a while first to warm it a little to get a good result. I take it you don't have a spare to pop on there and test. Do you have anyone near you that could loan you one for test purposes? A bad coil pack would kill two cylinders, not enough to make the engine die. Unless of course, you had two coils die at once. Not likely.

bad coil
i do not have anyone close by to swap. i was thinking the same thing. the car only dies if you floor it as its breaking up.i never seen a maf go bad so i was leaning toward coil or ignition but you may be right, the low readings across the terminals has me wondering also. the scan master is throwing no codes????
i wish there was a way of testing both before buying parts. if its the maf i will not buy a stock one, i'll go with a tranlator or the new maf pro that is speed density. i'll talk to jack when i get to that part. any suggestions will be appreciated. mike skwarlo
