Hey guys. I have a misfire problem and have tried cleaning the coil packs and boots. Nothing different so I tried taping the coils and boots with electrical tape and it actually made it way worse. It misfires as soon as it builds boost now. Weird. So I'm suspecting that something else may be giving up now. Like the next weakest link in the system. Maybe spark plug gap is wrong or the wiring harness is too crispy and fried. I know I should probably replace a bunch of crap already but I'm just wondering why keeping the gap from jumping through the boots actually made it worse. I'm confused.

Taping a coil won't work. Also you should look at the parts you took off, the harness and the springs within each coil could have been damaged or moved out of place on removal.“Hey, come on, its a car right? No. It’s a symbol of your history, its a thread of continuity from which you came to where you are. It’s important that you don’t want to forget who you are.” -Dr.Phil in "Love the Beast"

I went throught this issue for months with mine. I tried taping the coils and using the dielectric grease, didnt work. Bought yellow jackets, still didt work. Suspected the ignitor to be causing issues, and converted to LQ9/LS2 coils cutting the ignitor out all together. Cost half as much as new coils and much better product.

taping just the boots never works, have to tape the boots, then seal the boots to coil body with liquid electrical tape, i coated my coils and boots completely with 5 coats of liquid electrical tape after tape wrapping the boots. no problems after that and the jar of liquid electrical tape is about 7 bucks US. the leakage spot is where the boots meet the coil body. it arcs to the coil bracket
