[QUOTE="$2BURN, post: 738318, member: 10869"] Hey dudes, I recently had, what I consider, a heat issue with my car. Obviously my car is highly modified for a V6, but I had been driving it out of town for about two hours (with my wife...), hot day A/C on, going up a series of long slow hill climbs (high rpm). Once I got out of the hills the engine died (shut off) while driving. If I let the car rest for a 10 minutes or so it would start up, run fine for a short time, then shut down again. It sat overnight. Ran it back home the next day on a cool morning, never have had a problem since. Now this worries me. I don't want this to happen again, but how do I recreate the scenario? My thoughts may be the ignition coil just got to hot and shut down, killing the motor. I researched what aftermarket coils are available. And of course, not much in the V6 world. Accel has a Coil pack and Jegs have a coil pack. Would anyone know if one is better than the other. Obviously I want something that can withstand excessive heat. At least are either of those more efficient than the stock coil? Stupid question, I know... I really don't want to relocate the coil to another part of the car, so in the engine it stays. Opinions?
