Coil number 6 (as defined here: viewtopic.php?f=13&t=10718) failed on Wednesday . It took about five minutes to diagnose, trace and replace (my last vehicle was the L7X engined Avantime!) and the ECU light self-extinguished after about 120 miles. All normal so far..........
However, concurrent with the coil failure (which I had to drive with for about 10 miles before I could safely effect a repair) all of the trip computer functions associated with fuel consumption (mpg - range - consumption) have also failed, to be replaced with flashing dashes. My thinking is that these functions are metered at the number six cylinder, and the coil failure caused their loss. But they haven't returned after 250 miles.
Has anybody else experienced this problem? And if so, what's the fix?

ps: Yes, all you hoarders of garage queens; I've covered 250 miles in two days in a V. This is normal. Evil, aren't I?
