First, let me note that the time that a coil is pulsed while in diagnostics is different than the time it's pulsed in game play. Each coil has a "game play pulse duration" programmed into the software. But during test, they may all be pulsed for a fixed duration. Makes sense...doesn't it?

Next, have you measured the actual voltage at the weak coil.
Compare that voltage to the voltage for another coil like the pops or slot machine eject.
Any difference?

Quoted from Atomicboy:

I haven't because again it clearly fires like a cannon in test, so I assumed it was good. I know I know, assume assume, but I thought that was a good assumption. I should I guess measure this in play though, and in test, and see if for some reason there is a drop.

Electrickery is a funny thing. Measure it.
