Default Coil Pack Connector

Does anyone know what type of connector it is? I know it has 6 pins, and uses 5 of them.

If not, what type of connector would you replace it with?

Background:
Ran great until today where it seemed to be missing severely. Limped home and found code P1362. As far as I can tell, it means coil 2 isn't firing for some reason. On visual inspection everything looks fine, until I start messing with the coil pack connector. I notice it seems to change engine RPM and smoothness as I push, pull, and prod it. I disconnected it and cleaned it. Then found that by bending the harness side pins a little I could make the engine run great, or awful.

you ever figure out the solution to your code?

I just had the same code after some rough idling, I also poked the connector for the coil pack with a subsequent change in RPMs

Could be one (or more) of the female connectors got sprung out. Try pinching it (them) together a little bit, if you can to make better contact. Also make sure the metal is clean.

my coil pack is less than 10 days old and when I put the old coil pack back in there was a big improvement.
