I almost didn't make it home from work. The left coil died just
before I got to work (about 3/10 of a mile.) limped home after needing
a jump to get started because it was too cold to start on two plugs
(about 48 F.)
My question is should I replace both coils or just the one that went
bad?

The flash point is the point at which the vapors from the fuel will

It's also known as 'dieseling'.
