MOne,
Can you tell me what style ignition coil you are running in your car, better still can you photograph it and post it here within this topic so that I can tell you how to go about testing the ignition coil.
There are three different types of ignition coils used on excel and it may be hard for you to describe what coils you have.
1. First type that I can describe to you is, there should be two coil packs, one coil pack running cylinders 1-4, and the other running cylinders 2-3. They will have a common three pin connector and that is all.
2. Again, two coil packs however this type utilises two connectors, an individual connector for each coil pack.
The Gen1 12 valve used the first (1) type
The Gen2 12 valve used......**** I can't remember. I will have a look.
The Gen1 16 valve used the first(1) type also
The Gen2 16 valve used the second (2) type
Anyon out there with a 12 valve Getz will know what type of coil pack it uses. Just have a look and let us all know.
Let us know which coil pack type you have MOne and I will give you a test procedure that you can use to help determine your problem.
