Broken coil connector hack
Anyway....this would also apply to most coils but since I did it on an '05 Escape I'll drop it here. I also wouldn't do this on Cyls 1 thru 3 under the plenum (3.0)
I took some tabs that had completely snapped from other cylinders and wedged them under TO BLAVE tabs to keep them closed:
Completely failed tab...
Cut to desired length. I kept the fatigued plastic ears as they provide a nice fingernail pull for later removal as shown below:
I used a bit of black silicone to keep them from vibrating out and wedged in place to keep mostly fatigued tabs closed
I went with good old fashioned zip ties until I get replacement connectors (gonna rebuild the FI section of the harness from scratch).
