    When it starts jerking around, try pouring some cold water on the CAS and see if it gets better. If it improves, then you need a new CAS.

    So if the scan said the CAS or the DFI why is the mechanic saying coil? The DFI has been replaced so logically the next thing to replace would be the CAS.
