My car is throwing a 217 code - which points to a coil not receiving the right primary input. The coil tests out fine with an ohmmeter. So I'm thinking it's the DIS, as many other posts indicate. What they don't indicate is whether or not an aftermarket DIS unit is a mistake or not. I know that when it comes to electronic parts, Motorcraft is often better. But:
$113 - Manufactured by Neehoff (sp?) from Schucks
$174 - Ecklund from Napa
$88 - Standard Motor (Blue Streak) from Carquest
$332 - Motorcraft from the stealership
So I'm real tempted to go with a cheap unit. Any thoughts? Anybody know anything about these brands? Just thought I'd ask, I know you usually end up getting what you paid for but 90 bucks versus 330 is just too big of a difference. Let me know what you guys think.
