Let's play good COP, bad COP...

Misfire? Hesitation?..

Check for this and chances are, some of your COPs might have a crack in them.

Mine had 4 of these damn things cracked. Probably a good idea to replace them every 20-30K miles..or when necessary.

Without spring = cracked to shit (OEM that came with my motor).
With spring = still ok/good (Aftermarket spare that I bought a few years ago).

I'll have to check all mine now lol

wow that sucks...

Hmmm... I never checked this but maybe that's part of the reason mine kept blowing out.

I have (7) brand new SVE coils if anyone needs replacements and doesn't want to pay a lot for them.

How many miles were on the cracked COPs?

Guess I'll start keeping an eye on mine. I'm at 108K.

While all mine seem to be good, I noticed my springs have this sticky black crap on the ends of them. What is that?

Or orangey goop

Also discovered one coil pack has what looks like melted.

And one of the holes for the coil pack on cylinder #8 had white residue in it. Not sure what that is about, here's a pic anyway.

Hope someone has input about that.

That "gooey stuff" on the spring is dielectric connection protector, creates good contact for the spring/plug connection
