justarn 0 Posted July 10, 2011 Report Share Posted July 10, 2011 hey all bit annoyed with the vr toady, ive been attempting to wire my rev counter on my mk1 conv and my coilpack has split!!! i done the resistor of coilpack terminal trick( which you may or may not be familiar with) and just as i got it working the car started running really rough. on closer inspection after pulling of the ht leads two of them made no difference to the running. on the end where them two fit the pack it has split and some hard grey stuff is hanging out!!! didnt know they could just split.... i had it of in the last month or two and it was fine, very strange stuff! i wonder if my piece of six amp wire could have caused this, surely not? to top it all of i tried to pull a lead to double check for spark and the end stayed in the engine, i picked up my tools and went indoors for a beer and f1!! also i dont get paid till the end of the month and have no spare cash till then!now i will look at her on the drive wondering if the pack and leads are the only problem that i may or may not have caused with my peice of wire, lol alough quite annoyed!!! anyone experienced randomly spliting coilpacks?
