Coil driver is part of the PCM. if you keep going thru coils, I would consider a different brand part.

Originally had oem in it for a coil when the first one popped then put in a standard ( blue streak) hard to believe its just the coil. Im not sure im going thru coils but have popped the coil driver twice
thanks

worn/bad plugs and wires are hard on a coil.
