Did you forget how cars work? An excerpt from a news story on !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! includes this gem.

New components include cylinder heads with an 11.3:1 compression ratio (up from 10.2:1), eight-hole ignition coils , platinum-tipped spark plugs, new valve springs, low-tension piston rings, lightened crankshaft and crank pins, extensive friction reduction, and cooling of exhaust-gas recirculation.

(emphasis mine)

I guess Tony must have been typing furiously and got confused with injectors and igniters. I wonder if they were able to get those cross drilled cooling lines working too.

Oh Chrysler would still be using ignition coils. And improve upon this fascinatingly newfound technology with eight holes!

The important question is, did you subscribe to their newsletter to get news before everybody else? Or are you ok with not being ahead of the curve? Are you only on their site to research new minivans?

Whoever came up with the idea for that popup should be sacked.

Ignition coils have no need of holes, but injectors do

Fuel injectors have several small holes where fuel comes out. In this case, we are assuming 8. Ignition coils generally do not have holes in them.
