tothetune Posted July 5, 2004 Share Posted July 5, 2004 This car idles really rough. Did the plugs and wires, recent O2 sensor, filters. I was looking at the engine in the dark to see if any arcing occurs with the plug wires, and I noticed a lot of arcing coming from inside the ignition coil area, on the top of the engine where the plug wires attach to. Now this is a distributorless system, I believe, uses electronic ignition. Is it normal to see this arcing? Thanks for any feedback you could offer.

DerFahrer Posted July 5, 2004 Share Posted July 5, 2004 You probably need a new coilpack. I personally am anal-retentive about my car, so I would just get a brand-new coilpack, about $80. Make sure you get a Diamond one, they put out more spark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tothetune Posted July 5, 2004 Author Share Posted July 5, 2004 Thanks for the reply. I take it there shouldn't be any arcing inside there, no moving parts right?
