So i started this day off with no start due to no spark.. i checked to make sure i had spark off the coil, which i did, then moved to #1 plug. no spark. cap and rotor were replaced in march and came with a 5yr warranty. went down and replaced them for free. came home hooked everything up she started right up. but was missin like a sob at random. found the problem to be at the coil and coil wire. coil wire has a nice blue spark at the end when its grounded with no bleed back at the coil. when plugged in i get the bleed back as shown in video. what am i looking at new coil, new coil wire, or both. also plug wires replaced in march and have same warranty. just want to know if i need to order a coil or not...

When I do my first tune up to any GM full size I usually pick up the MSD Street-fire coil pack, plug wires and cap/rotor kit. IMO always made a good improvement over stock, especially if faulty.
