What was the problem with the Mazda Tribute coil?
They changed out the 6 coils, test drove and hooked it back up to their system. The misfires were gone. When we get the Tribute back, it starts immediately (1 second) instead of 2 or 3 seconds as always before. And it feel a little stronger and smoother than before. I think the old PCM has always had a small defect from the start from the factory.

The car has alway run very smooth averaging 21mi./gal in mix driving (70% highway, 30% city). Although, I’ve always thought this Tribute was harder to start than average. I have to turn and hold the key for 2 or 3 seconds to start it. My other cars take 1 second. Thank you in advance for your opinions.
