PET lists 5 different coils for the 84 model year depending on engine type.

If the car in question has one coil then its the same coil 80-84 model years that I checked. 928 602 503 00

The 84 model year with twin distributors have 2 coils and are different part number 944 602 115 00

I'd also try new Bosch coil(s) to start and also check the fuel presuure. My fuel pump failed but allowed a restart after towing..........I replaced it.

An ignition coil can be tested with a special tester that operates the coil sparking a spark plug simulating working conditions except engine load.

The 1984 is a Single Coil Car and after talking to Brian Redman down in Florida I think I understand what the deal is with the coils. The Bosch Coil can stand more heat than the Accell which was for a CUSTOM type of application the race coil we use on the Modified is design for extreme use but the one in the 928 is of lesser quality than the one we use. ALSO the one in the 928 was $45.00 the one in the race car was $125.00. we will get teh new coil Today (Friday) so will install and the ROAD TRIP!

Looks like it was, will drive the car more and see. Thanks for all the input since I had the mind set that the coil was NEW so how could that be the problem. Simple WRONG COIL.
