OK, so both axiom's and xtrai - you had hesitation but no codes ? how to trouble shoot I do understand, but what are the symptoms barring the appearance of codes ? at idle the engine should be 'chasing' or are the electronics that good nowadays that isn't the case anymore ?

I don't feel my idle is in any not smooth (to clear the double negation: idle is smooth), yet I feel upon acceleration there is a hesitation esp. if engine speed is a bit low when I step on it, like the car gets bogged down then all the sudden it wakes up - oh, you want me to speed up - kinda thing.

From all I've read replacing coils willy-nilly is not recommended, regardless of mileage.
