Find someone who can sell you an original black Bosch coil. I suspect 
that the old blue ones, made in Germany, were good, but the more 
recent ones made in this hemisphere seem to be very unreliable. 
Unless you're actually drag racing and taking your engine WAY over 
the normal red line, there's absolutely NO advantage to the blue 
coils.

I have several OG black and blue coils here.
