I'm not sure if this is the same part, but my coil wire keeps breaking. Guess the factory one gave out so I had to get it replaced. Within a few months, it had to be replaced once again. The mechanic mentioned a faulty one (under warranty). Once they put the new square metal coil in, the engine fired up.
This is typical? I changed ignition, distributor, rotor, plugs, sparks while at it. The car runs a lot smoother now.
