Re: problems with coil (carpe dm)
I had the same problem. One of the coils went bad and then another a month later. I don't think there is an aftermarket coil but GM did revise the coils, probably for this reason. The new coil that you had installed should be a different part # and the epoxy coating is probably black instead of white. I am speaking from experience of a 97 model. I don't know what year you have and I'm not exactly sure when GM changed these coils. My G/F has a 2001 LS1 and it has the new coils on it, so somewhere in between. One other thing; check your fuses before you make another trip back to the shop. People have mistaken misfire codes with the coil packs when it was only a fuse to start with. I hope this helps.
Let me know what you come up with.
