Spent 3 hrs removing coil packs (plus gas injection bits and pieces) - without removing intake manifold.

Now looking for some advice - I'm thnking of installing the new leads, zip tieing them together in respective banks, then try sliding the coils from brake master cylinder side into place. Has anyone done this or is there another method?:confused:

I was thinking of relocating the coils for easy access in the future, but need to extend the wiring looms - anyone done this mod?

You shouldn't zip tie high tension wires together, as you may get induction.
They should be parallel but separated with no more than 1 crossing.

Yes I know, zip tie until they are in place. If only it was a simple as a D1.
