Due to the location of your factory ignition coil pack harness and its close proximity to the exhaust manifold, it is common for the factory harness to become brittle and crack apart over time due to years of heat cycling. This can lead to misfires, rough idle, lack of acceleration, and decreased fuel mileage.
