Hey All!
Am chasing a cold start miss/rough idle issue and started pulling plug wires from coil one at a time immediately after last cold start. All seem normal except one. It and/or plug wire end are snow white corroded like a forgotten flashlight battery!! Only the one. Plug wires are 5 years old with 30k miles on them. Question: why the corrosion on one and only one so bad it has eaten half of the plug wire connector??? yes, it's time for (at least) a new plug wire, but is it time to toss the coil or can it be cleaned or is corrosion coming from the coil, maybe?? Seems really odd to have only one sign of that kind of krud.
BIG THANKS!!!!!
