    Problem with the ignition coil and/or connector- but take note, need to use information from the G3 Diagnostic System and verify the CORRECT ignition coil is checked. Very easy to get off on a rabbit trail and replace the wrong component.

    Not that I've heard of, but availability changes in real time (constantly).
