I replaced the wires today. I think that has resolved the miss.
It seemed to be running better. If there is still an issue, it's a coil that fried when the wired sliced. |

I still have a miss... it gets worse as the engine warms... I am wondering of a coil fried during the harness destruction.
Tomorrow night, I will hit this with my old school timing light. I will know it a wire is getting juice. If not, then I have my issue! Otherwise, I may have a dead wire or a dead coil. |

This should be the final update:
I found a couple of disconnected vacuum lines... they were for the climate control vents, on the right side. I fixed that then went looking for the miss. And found it. #3 coil was dead. I found that one of pins in the socket got bent when the harness got yanked. I fixed that, installed these cool trick new brackets and proceeded to test fire the engine. Guess what? NO MORE MISS! I am so excited. I will post pics over the weekend. |

it only takes time! I knew I would find it... but I had to just work through it... each solution raised it's own problems.
The thing was, the coil with the bad connector still seated... just not evenly! I didn't notice that until I started to focus on it. |

the entire experience was a pain... I hope it continues to run ok.
It's been running quite well today... Next up... a clutch.  |
