Hello folks. I'm new to the forum. I joined with the hope of getting help concerning my turbo Cruiser's ignition problem. After extensive reading it appears the ignition problem with Cruisers is an epidemic. It appears that the Cruiser has an inherit ignition problem that isn't easily fixed. Someone changes the coil and it fixes it for a week. Some change the plugs and wires and that lasts a month. Some change everything associated with the secondary circuit and sensors for cams and whatnot and the check engine light and random misfires continues. Does anyone care to chime in and post what they did that DID fix their problem? Permanently - or at least for let's say more than 25K miles?

I usually do my own work, but recently I've had to succumb to using a mechanic that I've used and known for 20 years. Even he has been baffled by the re-occurrence of error codes and number of coil replacements and the problem still points to the coil. Today he called to say he found the number 1 plug tube filled with oil. Obviously that's not good. But will the fix actually fix the latest random misfires and check engine light? I'm betting that will last two weeks and it'll be back. What do you say?
