Coil Pack/Connector Plug Issue. Need Help!

[BoostedinSoFla]

Ok, so this problem has been bothering me for quite sometime. My car wont start on the "first turn", it takes about 5 turns before it starts up and runs. When it does run, it seems as if it bogs a little and then starts to idle fine. I was stumped until I got a CEL few months back and when I pulled the codes this is what I got:

P0352 - Ignition Coil B Primary/Secondary Circuit Malfunction
P0351 - Ignition Coil A Primary/Secondary Circuit Malfunction

I now notice that if I push in the connector plug that plugs into the coilpack (it's loose) the car starts fine. I unplugged the connector from the coilpack and there were little broken pieces of plastic so it seems as if the connector plug is defective and wont mate properly to the pins.

Now my problem is this, I have a 95 so I have round pins and every local junkyard I go to has flat pins which I guess is for 97-99 N/T's. Can I just cut the connector plug wire from the engine harness and just replace the entire coilpack and connector plug for the flat-pin type? Pic attached below for reference.

Yes...

Just strip the wires, attach the appropriate ends (solder is best), insulate them well (heat shrink tubing or electrical tape), and you should be good to go.

Sorry I'm not home, otherwise I'd help.

Thanks Paul. I figured I'd be good with that method but wanted to double check.
U Pull It this weekend for me...Yeah!!.

Damn, you're still having that problem. I remember when it first happened I wanted to do the same thing. U Pull It should be a lot of fun this weekend btw.

Replaced the coil/connector to flat-pin type and I still had the same problem.

I checked around the engine bay some more and turns out the CAS was unplugged from the HG job, been driving with it for 2 weeks now. Problem solved.

Glad to hear you got it going.
