does anyone else's coil get very hot after not much time running? is this normal or do we have something hooked up incorrectly. The car starts and idles and drives. 1974 1.8 with stock l-jet.
also, is there any easy/cheap way to secure the rear window so it doesn't rattle and shake and make noise all the time? thanks in advance for any help |

Are you sure there shoulnd't be another one on there from the ECU? I really thought I saw that in haynes...it comes from the port #1 on the big ecu connector in the FI harness.
but I could be mistaken...i'm not very knowledgable about any of this stuff....all I do know is that there were definitely more than 3 wires on the coil when we got it - but we also got it right after it had an engine fire. there were also extra spark plugs floating around in the cooling maniforld - ha - i don't know how the car ran or at least how he could've driven it with spark plugs banging around in the back before we got it, but the owner said that it made daily trips from here to milwaukee. thanks again for all the help. |
