Sure sounds like it. It's bad enough to affect the performance of the car but not yet bad enough for the PCM to notice it and illuminate the check engine light.

what would I have to do for this to be fixed though?... Is it all of my ignition coils or just one or two? Or is it even the coils or not?

I have a V6 and I changed out all mine when I popped the new motor in not knowing if the old 6 where good or not. Why worry about 9 year old 126K coils and pulling off intake when $140 for all 6 new I can sleep at night.

At least one, but I don't expect it to stay that way. I haven't had to change any coils in my 06 (50K miles), but I've had to change four in my 04 (100K miles).

As far as i can tell, the dealer said nothing was done mechanically to my car except oil changes... 02 V8 with 82k on the clock now
Yeah mine was at 94k before it started acting up.

(crosses fingers), 64,000 miles none yet, I did do my VC gaskets around 45,000 and coil boots and put dieletric grease in the boots to prevent oil from getting in there, hopefully works for a while. I am gonna do plugs on it soon, so hopefully by disturbing them I wont have a problem afterwards, tempermental :q:q:q:qs!!!!!
Me. My '04 was diagnosed with a similar issue: bucking at 50/part throttle and rough idle on cold starts. I was SURE it would be a coil or 2. Coils were fine. A dealer reflash fixed the issue.
Hmm, how much did that cost you?
1 hr for diag, .5 hr for the flash. $80/hr at the stealer I took it to. Of course it doesn't take that long but it took care of the problem. I thought I was going to skate on a coil TSB because they don't even charge you for the diag, but hey...it's fixed.
