Its completely dead, rendering the car running on 3 cylinders.

The part number on the coils have no letters at the end, they just end in 115. I'm pretty sure they are the coils that came with the car from the factory.

One just died. Isn't there updated ones that I should get for all cylinders? Or does it really not matter?

Default If you're are all old, I'd replace them all.

Seems like when one goes, the others aren't too far behind - unless others have been replaced recently.

Default Change the one, Check all the plug gaps.

Excessive plug gap seems to stress coil packs.

I lost two in one track weekend a little over a year ago. I did replace all four and get new plugs, but I expect that the plugs caused the problem as they were out over .32 when I checked them.
