So I did a compression test on my (new to me) car before I begin putting a supercharger on. Wasn't anything noticeable, but since I had the time I figured why not. I noticed (3) of the coil connectors are broke. Additionally there are (2) that look aftermarket as they clip different and don't have the red piece. If it is aftermarket, they did a pretty damn good job tying it into the stock harness as it is not noticeable. Plugs looked pretty good too so I am thinking someone already had changed them (car has around 90K).

So are people running around with broken clips or buying the expensive as hell new connectors and butchering the harness? I did put everything back together and seems like it is running fine.

you can sometimes find the clips without the wire splice kit but the easiest thing to do is just de-pin the broken connector using a pick and put the new one on. There's no need to splice wires
