What would cause a lack of signal to the last two posts on the coil (top and bottom of the coil unit, closest to the firewall?) I own a 2003 Ford Mustang V6. The engine began to run sluggishly, as if not all cylinders were firing. After determining that cylinders 3 & 4 were not getting spark, I replaced the coil module, but the problem persists. The plug wires are fine and the other cylinders seem to be fine. The crankshaft position sensor seems undamaged.

Best test the crankshaft position sensor this is the one that tells the computer to fire the coils in sequence
