We then plugged the lose connector in and ran the car for 40mins in idle, it did not cut out (typical 10-15 mins then cut out before). So I think this is probably the cause of the problem. I need to do more testing, but it looks promising.
My guess is the clips broke during a spark plug change and my mechanic sealed them.
My questions :
- what is the part number for these clips?
- I see 3 with silicone sealant, are there any more clips than the 3? |

About 99.9+% of the time, private help requests end up covering great information that could be very valuable to other forum members. If you have a good reason for needing the help request to be private, I'll consider it. If not, then why not give everyone else the opportunity to pitch in too, and/or learn from the information?
