I was going to due some testing of my current ignition system with a spark tester, however upon removing the coil cover I noticed that the existing wiring harness had some cracking in the insulation to the point where I can see some copper wire in spots.
Thinking that it doesn't make sense to test the coils if I know the wiring is bad, I think I have three options:
1) Get a new wire harness from the dealer (if available, probably not cheap). Then hope that the other components work and if not get used replacement parts. Probably not a cost-effective solution.
2) Do the 1.8T conversion (I would just order the Apikol kit)
3) Live with it as is for a little bit and wait for a GM-based coil kit, hoping for more reliability and perhaps better performance than the 1.8T coils.
I emailed Apikol and was told that they are NOT working on a GM-based system. I thought I read on the list that they were? Is someone else looking at offering a complete solution (pre-made harness/wires)? I suppose I could do it myself...
Suggestions?
Erik
