they are supposed to give you a better spark. I've heard that they make a big difference, but I've never experienced one first hand. I think that a corolla club was doing a group buy of something like this and asked us if we'd like to participate. Did anybody?

Can't use it on our ignitions anyway. The coils are at the plugs.

Note both of those units are listed as UNIVERSAL FIT. That means they're indexed as universal products, and show up no matter what car you research...IN this case, unfortuantely, the data was wrong...

I'm looking at plasma spark intensifiers. They go right overtop of the spark plug no extra hardware. However they are quite pricey. Seen them on a Celica once and they sure sound like they give a good performance jump.
