Default Coilpack keeps poping off

For the past couple of days now, I've had a coil pack keep popping off, and I have no idea why. Anyone have any suggestions on what might be causing this and how to prevent it, before something bad happens.

Some people just have this problem. You can get brackets to keep them down... Probably easy to make some yourself as well.

First check to see if your coil pack connector is broken. If so my brother did a good write up on replacement.

Like dragonrage mentioned, some people get brackets for them or make them. ECS Tuning carries them, just make sure you get the correct ones for your engine code. I believe you have an AWM like mine, so any of these should work.

You can just get something like this (actually, much shorter is fine), cut it down and use longer bolts. Use jam nuts or threadlocker or spacers if the bolts you get don't tighten down enough without wanting to put too much pressure.

It wouldn't look as good, but $45? Come on, ECS.

Or maybe something like this if you are really strapped for cash!


And custom colors to pimp out your ride!

I'm not strapped for cash, and not trying to be a dick about it. But I saw the ones on ECS earlier today and they do look pretty. I just rolled 100K and thought I might as well grab some plugs at the same time.

I do have the AWM engine code, so all of those will work.
