UPDATE - 8/25/08

in the last 20 days since taping all six coils, I've had consistently smoother performance. Just to verify that the tape wasn't a placebo, I un-taped the rear 3 coils yesterday. the car returned to its previous behavior, with much more pronounced surging than with the tape.

SO - my e-bay coils (1 front, 1 rear style) finally showed up. I plan on cycling the new rear-coil into each position until the problem suddenly disappears (in theory).

I just installed it into the cyl#1 position, and I'll test the performance on my 60mile commute tomorrow.

Update to follow!
