Post ignition coil observations
Maybe it's like a waxed car car goes faster, but I swear the mpg has gone up by a few.
For as much as a couple years, the car has had a slight miss at idle as evidenced by the exhaust having "bup" evey few seconds.
That's gone for at least now, and the rpm range has a more turbine-like smoothness. Also, it maybe just the contrast to my trusty old CRX Si I was driving all week, but the car pulls like a freight train.

I suppose the "bup" can indicate the eventual failure of a coil, and wonder if an analyzer can narrow it down to the cylinder. Thats'd be neat, as a preemptive changeout could be done way before failure.
But not like this:
