Two days ago, when I took my car out for a test run after taping coils 1,3 and 5, I only drove for about 5 minutes, and, even though this isn't typically enough time for the surging problem to show itself, I thought I felt a slight hesitation. Being the pessimist I am, I promptly logged on and said that taping the coils didn't work...

...well, I've driven the car about 140miles over the last two days, and made numerous attempts to produce the surging symptoms. I've gotta say, even though I'm still feeling a VERY slight decrease in power between 3-4.5k RPM's, I have not once been able to make the car surge like it's been doing for the last few months. While I'm still not convinced that the tape necessarily solved the problem, I am becoming convinced that the tape has certainly affected the symptoms. This makes me optimistic that the coils are, in fact, the issue... ...my pair of new ones should be coming within a week, and then I'll see for sure...

Keep us informed. Mine is still just as bad with the tape on all 6. I'm going to try and look for my extra MAF sensor today. I have too many parts in boxes around here!
