has anyone had problems after a wire tuck? i have an issues the coil pack for 4-1 keeps smoking and getting really hott. this is the 2nd one ive replaced. and ive pulled both harnesses back out and can not find any bad wires. i need help
 
Did you cut any wires and are you sure you have the wires going to the correct spot. There is obviously an issue with the harness if you went through 2 coil packs after the tuck.

everything is going to where it needs to go. i spent 2 straight days working on the wiring! and there is 2 coil packs. 4-1 and 2-3. idk if i just need to get another harness and go without the tuck or if its the haness behind the dash ### there was one bad wire but i eliminated that one and everything seems to be working fine

So you are saying that the coil for 1&4 is burning up?

Have you tested the voltage going to the harness?
 
no i havent tried that yett. but the car wasnt running when the second one went. i was just testing my turbo timer
 
no i replaced the bracket the coil packs sit on and they worked fine although i did kill another pack but replaced and worked fine
