you say rough running, rainstorm the night before?

we have the answer!

replace your ignition coil. pep boys is the cheapest for 98-01 cars at $120.

takes under an hour, you've done the wires, so you know the time involved.

the light will go out within 30 starts after replacing the coil.

i love when stuff's this easy to diagnose. no need for codes in this case.
