Default Re: AUII XR8 just lost all power while driving ?.

Ok all wires etc look good all over, I took the earth cable off the battery and then the engine block and the chassis and cleaned everything, I tested and took some readings first to check the alternator etc and all was ok prior and then re-checked with a multimeter afterwards and all is good with a slight improvement in numbers.

But here's a thought/question..

I have prior to this little engine dying episode replaced the spark plugs, leads with 9mm ICE series 1000 pro, and a new battery, so all the ignition side of things are new and strong, all but the coil packs which are the original units.

Now even though the car has done little work, (72 Thousand k's) but the age of the car is now 20 years, so would these ageing coil packs cause an issue now that all the other components around it in conjunction are new and fresh ??

Could the stalling issue been related to a dying coil pack ?, I ask this question as I thought that if it was the case the coil pack would cause a persistent miss or the car would run rough ?, not just die like it did. But could this be a possibility ?.

Is there a way of testing the coil packs ?.
