:mad: Hey Guys :mad:

I was doing a check up in my car and when I pulled my COIL#2 wire out, this was my expression OMG :barf: :barf: OMG (and Hopefully yours)

Take a look at the pic, I have no clue to what the #### happened to that wire (OBX 10.3mm)!
Please note I've attached the other wire just as an example on how it should've looked like when I pulled it off!

Is it something that is causing this wire to burn out like this?
I don't believe the wire would go bad by itself like that!

Ohhh and BTW, I did the key dance and I did get code 43 (which is related to COIL#2 I believe)

Can Anyone tell me if I'm losing HP by having my wire like this?
Am I hurting my car?

Don't worry though, - Screaming Demon Coil Pack + Accel wires on the way :thumb:
