I bought mine at advance auto parts and have had no problems with them. Not sure what brand was on them.

So new coil packs. Did nothing. Runs smoother tho. New tps as The code reader said it was bad a few weeks ago. But it still stutters. Sounds like it's being starved. Fuel pump primes up before start so I'm thinking that's good. Injectors all sound like there spraying. So that leaves the fuel filter. Is there any other part that's part of the ignition system? Spark plug wires are all good. Going to have a code reader tomorrow night so I'll run it with that to check all the systems while driving.

Ok so I checked the code and it said mass air flow low voltage. Would that mean that the maf sensor need to be replaced?

The code was p0102 mass air flow/ volume low circuit. Just took it for a drive connected to the computer and every thing was working but the maf would say .200 lb/pm with it revving up and sometimes would range up to 3.00lb/pm. Is there any other system connected to the maf?

Im not sure exactly which are the best brand cp's for the cammy but im sure if you search "coilpacks" under v6 then youll find some ppl who posted in older/similiar threads about the best kinds.

in my opinion honestly just do a little searching and see the average pricing and reviews..go for the bit pricey-er ones because you wouldnt want the sameproblem to occur because you tried saving a few bucks. from my experience when i paid a lil more for parts it usually turned out for the best.

Well, yes, in a way! Each of the sensors provides input to the ECM which uses that info to adjust the way the car is running. Any sensor out of "range" of designed specs will create issues.

Ya ran my computer on it and when the maf wasn't picking up and air volume I figured that was the problem. I replaced it and now it runs like a charm.

Glad you found the issue. After seeing the code I was gonna suggest a new MAF, and the data you were getting also suggested a bad maf as well.

If you are still interested in the coils then I would look into the MSD coils, they are great for everything from all around driving to high performance. They put out about the same amount of power so you dont have to mess with the plug gap but they have a faster recovery rate so they will handle higher RPMs than the factory ones can. The BWD Select coils are cheaper and offer pretty good performance for the $$$, but they are more of an OEM replacement, not a performance replacement.
