Default now there are like 4 or 5 wires that run to each coilpack
do i need to just see which wires run to each pin, test out which pins are dead, and just splice in the new wires with the pin? I am new to this sort of thing ... also what if more than a couple wires are dead? how many repair kits should I get? each kit ends up being 2 wires and a pin on each after you cut the wire right?

Default When I bring the wires in to my dealership, should I just cut off all of the wires and pins that run
to cyl. 2 (the misfiring cylinder) maybe a few inches and bring them in? Then splice in the new repair wire/pins to cyl. 2?
