My 92 Interstate lost two cylinders that turned out to be one of the three ignition coils. While on a Patriot Guard mission it suddenly lost two cylinders after having a hard start cold problem. I found that one ignition coil had completely quit working so, i was getting no spark on number five and six. I limped home on four cylinders. I was surprised at how much power it still had on four. I replaced all three coils with OEM coils and new spark plug wires and never had trouble again.

Those who say it cannot be done should try not to interrupt those who are doing it.
