OK, so it may seem that I am over posting, and you may be right, but I dont know if it is better to throw a different problem in the middle of another thread, or start a new one. Aside from my GI lighting issue which is in progress, I have a coil issue on Mr. and Mrs. Pacman pin. Flippers work as they should, the only other coils that seem to fire correctly are the kick out holes and a lane diverter, the pop bumpers, lower rubber bumpers, and drop target coils do not seem to be operating correctly. In the test mode, when the other coils should be operating, the coils under the 2 main drop target banks (not the one that resets them, but there are 4 individual coils under each that I guess drop that particular target) just go off randomly.
I took apart one of the drop targets to start replacing diodes and I noticed something. One of the coils only had two lugs and 1 diode. Now I know I read that any of the coils that run off the solenoid expander board need 2 diodes. I checked the other drop target bank and all 4 coils had 3 lugs and 2 diodes. Further more the one diode on the coil in question was def newer, leading me to believe it was replaced incorrectly.
Basically the question is will this cause intermittent coil operation? I don't want to sit here and trouble shoot a phantom issue if I can replace this coil and maybe fix an issue. either way I think I am going to order it, but since it will take a while I might as well get some feedback. Also the numbers on the coils are the same, so they are same.
Below are some pics. Sorry about the long winded post.
