New (used) coils question
« on: August 20, 2007, 08:56:49 PM »
Bought some used coils on ebay, should I clip the wires and clean them etc. right off the bat or give them a go as is first?

Unscrew the plug caps and look at the wire ends.  If they are solid and the core wire shiny, screw the caps back on without trimming.
