"Putter" type feeling when I drive my LS??

I believe this is what you would call a quagmire. Just keep wading in deeper and deeper.

I know it's not the volts that kill you but wouldn't sticking a screwdriver in the end of a coil give you a little more than just a small shock? Don't know if he took that suggestion seriously or not but that's not something I would do.

Shredicus, it's a stretch but, giggity.

Current kills, voltage is the pressure that forces current through you. A normal, healthy person is very unlikely to be harmed by the very unpleasant shocks provided by an ignition coil. (I've had several such shocks.) That said, it is possible for the shock to disrupt the heart's pumping function if it travels just right through the body and hits at just the right instant of the heart's electrical rhythm.
If you know that what you are doing is likely to result in a shock, do this at the least. Use your right hand for whatever it is doing that might shock you. Lift you left foot off the ground and be careful not to touch anything with your left hand.

Hasn't killed/hurt me yet :lol: but then again I'm old fashion even though I'm only 19. I still use the old screwdriver on top of the motor trick! Still hasn't failed me yet!

Thanks for clarifying Joe jut make it so the path would be almost impossible for it to go to side the hearts on. I'll skip that and just replace them when the symptoms arise.

Well, the shock test as a way to find defective coils is completely useless. Every bad LS coil that I have seen so far still produced enough voltage to shock you, just not enough to reliably fire the spark plug every time.

since i didn't see anyone else ask this, i guess i will.


what kind of gas are you putting in the car?

if its the cheap sh!t, then have somebody rub you face into the ground like a puppy that just pissed on the rug.
