UPDATE: I used twist ties.

There was a random missfire popping up. Changed ncoil packs and it went away. But the coil packs don’t click securely into the wiring harnass connectors.

You can’t tell but the nub on the left is slightly smaller in all dimensions than the right one.

Should I put a little dab of ultra grey or some silicone on the end of the connector to keep them wiggling out?

Twist ties around the base of the coil packc connector and around the back of the wire loom connectorsshould keep them in securely.

I’d use the wire from a twist tie to secure the connector to it. Less messy down the road.

I was thinking about how I could use zip ties but twist ties would work the treat!

Zip tie and send it all the way

Hamish:
Some (nubs)  are longer than others.

Campbell:
Your mother’s been telling stories about me again, ah?

I don't think I can fit zip ties. I ended up using twist ties.

I like big nubs.

Is there any crud or anything in the socket?

Sometimes aftermarket parts don’t always fit right .

I would order another set of coil packs from a different/better brand if they aren’t too expensive.

You can get some really thin PC cable management zip  ties that should do the trick

Nah I made sure to clean them out. It’s just the nub being just slightly too small.

I bought nice midrange coils off Ro ckAuto and they were $30 each. The next level was $50 each. I don’t think it’ll be a big deal. They’d worked for a couple weeks with no reinforcement so they should be fine with the twist ties.
