i would as it seems like you are chasing ghosts. the coil can be tested by hooking up test wires and seeing what happens while you drive and the problem occurs.

I am not sure of the specs on a 2.6.

Had a coil go bad on a vw bug. Looked and tested fine but would not work intermittently/ Tried a used one from Junkyard and it wasn't long before i forgot that i had a problem...if ya know what i mean.

Draining the gas seems like the wrong thing to do. after all, there is a fuel filter in line and i would check it first. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/scared.gif" alt="" />
