Engine mis-fire/ shutter / skip
All,
I occasionally get, what I call, a mis-fire. It is RPM independent. It does'nt happen often but when it does it's very noticeable. I'm statring my troubleshooting.
I have cleaned MAF sensor. - This brought voltage back into spec.
I am replacing plugs and coils this week. (coils will be used but are all funtional). I'm also going to pull the intake, replace PCV, and give the baffles and IAC a good cleaning in Carb cleaner.
However, I think it may be coil related. When pulling the coils, a couple have cracked wire insulation just as they go into the coil housing. I think these wires could easily short out causing the skip. What do you think? Has anyone ever repaired/insulated these succesfully?
I can wrap them in electical tape, bought thought 100% silicone around the wires, as they enter the coil housing, might insulate them from each other better. Any thoughts / experience here?
Thanks
