Thanks.....but in my case, I have no way to raise the car, so it would be difficult if not impossible to work from underneath it. So, I'm not very keen on doing it myself but I might "shop around" for a more reasonably priced job.

Out of curiosity, would a cracked coil or coils cause the AM side of the radio to have static that increases with RPM or MPH speed? I sometimes hear that "static" as if I don't have resister plugs (but I do)......the static can last for many minutes then vanish, not happen at all, or sometimes lasts for much longer.......but mostly I'm on FM so it's seldom a problem, but I'm curious.
