Geoff, Sorry.....I guess that I wasn't very clear.
When I swapped the coil pack & spark plug between #5 & #3.....the problem stayed with the #5 cylinder. This eliminated those (2) parts from the issue.

The coil itself would intermittently fail. Moving the coil moved the problem. It was infrequent enough that I lived with it, but junkyard coils are cheap and plentiful now. Buy at least two. --Geoff On Fri, Jan 2, 2009 at 7:16 PM, J Phillips <mopar_superbird@ yahoo.com>wrote: > Geoff, > > Thanks for the reply.
