Coilpack Question
I bought a 2004 D2 with a broken ignition wire. I was told by the seller that the coil pack would also need replacement due to firing into a broken wire. Just want to know if thats true or not before I buy both. I searched for ages but didn't find the answer to this question.
Thanks

That's a good question. I don't know the answer, but I have an opinion. I've heard and read that it is possible to change plug wires without removing the upper intake manifold. I can't imagine how small the person's hands would have to be to accomplish this feat, but I know I can't do it. How many miles are on the vehicle? At some point it is likely that a coil pack will fail. I replaced plug wires and coil packs at the same time and now know exactly how old they are. I've had coil packs fail at some point on several vehicles. Some are way easier to replace than the DII. For me, if I didn't know how old the coil packs were, I'd replace them at the same time I did the wires rather than find out I had to take all that stuff apart again later. Just my thought. Good luck. If I ever have to replace coil packs again, I think I will seriously consider the kit to relocate them to the front of the engine.

Hmm ok I'll have to move the secondary air injection parts and see if that gives me access to change just the 1 wire. If it does I'll just try that. If I go through the trouble to pull the manifold I'll probably put the coil in even if it doesn't necessarily need it, just so I don't have to do the job twice...
