hi, does anyone know whats the name or number of the connector and cable harness that connects the left coil pack to the voltage transformer. I have the left bank still misfiring (7-12) and i suspect that the culprit is the cable not the pack it self.
Thx

I purchased an entire harness on ebay to rob some connectors from and am planning to hack off the pigtail for the ignition transformer so that I can add a second in parallel on my car. If the entire bank is shutting down, it's because the ignition transformer has detected a problem with that output circuit. Which could be in the transformer itself, the coil, or any of the wiring or connectors in between. It's very unclear from ALL the documentation and diagrams I have read how exactly to determine what the actual cause is without swapping parts, or hooking up a scope to see what's going on with the power from the transformer to the coil.

You are absolutely right! There is no definite way to decide what the exact problem is When you have a complete bank misfiring. My tech has so far confirmed that it is not the voltage transformer. And he insists that the harness is fine but I still suspect it. Thing is, can I swap left and right ignition coil for the sake of eliminating causes of the problem. I read here and there that it can be done. Has anyone been there and tried it???

I don't know how you would do that...they are mirror image. If you swapped them the connectors would be at the back.

Edit: or rather, they would be upside down I guess. Maybe it could be done, I don't know. But I'd worry about it fussing with the firing order and potentially damaging the engine.

You are probably right! It is a stupid idea!
i will purchase a new pack and hope it will fix the problem. Cross fingers!
Thx for the thought!!!

I got mine through FCP Euro, so that I'd have their lifetime warranty. Not the cheapest place to get them but it wasn't horrible and now I know I'm covered.
