Is coil life dependent on plug gap? My Saab had individual coils in a cassette which had a tendency to crap out and leave you stranded. If you religiously kept the plug gap within spec, the coils would last forever. Apparently, as the plug wears, the gap gets bigger and more current is needed to get across the gap. More current stresses the coils, leading to failure.
Wonder if thats whats going on with Boxsters.
