    coil pack bolts

    I broke 3 of mine, so 2 questions.

    A) whats the easiest way of getting the other half out of the bracket? Just drill it?

    Can I use a nut/bolt combo to re-secure it?

    B) does anyone know the size of these bolts?

    I've driven like this for awhile now, one bolt holding down each pack, but since I changed swapped in some new ones last week I've been getting intermittent misfires as of today...when I check the rear coil pack it's sloppy, so I'm guessing thats the issue...its just pulling itself up with vibration and intermittently firing.

    Can you get a new bracket all together? Might be an easy solution if you could find one on the cheap side, bolts included

        are the coils grounded by the bolts? or just those prongs on the ICM?

          thats a good question. i dont think they are grounded by those bolts but I could be wrong. Maybe just some zip ties for your trip? lol

            problem is I'm not sure if the hole goes right through the bracket right now. If it does, Im thinking of just getting a nut/bolt and attaching the coils that way.

            and if it's not, Im thinking of just drilling right through the bracket...I think it should be ok, I can't forsee an issue, Im just asking just to be sure though. I mean you would think its just a regular bracket right? ....and even if I did drill all the way through the holes if I use a nut/bolt and the packs were grounded through the bolts...technically they should still be grounded no?

              Yes they are grounded, I noticed mine were off when my stereo noise got bad. Now they are wedge in there tight so they have a ground to them, its alot better.
