my notes say per coil, but I think that is a worst case scenario.

  Is 5A per coil or for 4 total coils?

Bobby,

I checked back in my notes from 2003, and here is what I have:

EC2 - 0.25 amp
injectors - 2A average per injector
coils - 5A max  (LS-1)

I'm sure others will correct me if this has changed.

  Thanks,
