I have a 1997 XJ6 VDP that I bought a few weeks ago. At the moment, it is sitting in my driveway because when I start it, it runs rough and throws codes P0302, and P1313.

I know I need to swap coils to determine whether the problem follows the suspect coil on cylinder #2. I plan to do that as soon as we have a warm enough day, as I am in New England.

I am looking for recommendations on whether or not there are suitable aftermarket coils available. If so, where should I purchase them?

I've seen some posts here that say you should change all the coils at the same time. Is this really necessary?

How are the cylinders numbered?

Also, the Code P1313 says that the Misfire is bad enough that it could damage the cat. converter. Is it safe to drive the car, at low speeds, a distance of 4-5 miles to get it to a local shop?

Also looking for tips on what to do, or not do, while changing spark plugs and coils, as well as how to thoroughly clean the throttle body, and MAF.


Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Leo
