Do coils ground to the intake?????

The stupid little tiny bolt that holds the COP onto the intake manifold, does it provide a ground or something that controls the cop performance? The reason I am asking is cause I have one that is broken and I just zapstrapped the COP to the intake for now.

No,the coil is grounded through the harness. The bolt is just a physical connection to hold it in place.

The bolt does not ground the coil, but it does hold it down and in the proper location to make connection to the spark plug.
If the COP is not held down far enough, it may not make connection to the plug.
