I'm having an issue with my car right now and since the mechanics in my city are idiots I'm fixing it myself! They couldn't figure out why my car was running rough so I took it into my own hands brought it into auto class and me and a few buddies managed to figure out that my car is only running on 5 cylinders took 3 teenagers with very little expearience to figure out what a trained mechanic could'nt, figure that one out! Now that I am done my rant, here's my problem I've determined that my coilpacks are all functioning correctly. The issue I have is that there is no contact to my third coil from the coil wires, probally something simple like the connections. How much does a new coil wiring harness cost? Is there anyway to splice the current one to just fix that one wire?? TIA

I have to repair all 6 of mine, what made it a little easier for me is I had an old wire harness to scavenge. All were soldered and insulated with shrink material. A new harness I imagine is about $700 US, what is that now about $500 CDN today.

Seem to remember that the dealer does have the parts for this fix too.

Bump, checked the wires there good! Is this more likely the monotronic(or whatever it's called or the ECU causing this problem I really must get to the root of this problem

Have you done a compression test? I experienced similar symptoms while on a road trip. Did some simple road side tests, all pointing to no compression but without a compressions test it was only a theory. Drove it 400 miles back home with the fuel injector to that cylinder unplugged. Once in the garage the compression test confirmed, 0 compression, pulled the head and found that a huge flake of carbon had come off the piston and for a nano second held open one of the two exhaust valves just long enough to have a section of the valve nicked off by the piston.
