I have repaired, for free, 4-5 harnesses that were damaged during installation but only one of those people were kind enough to admit their error and appreciate my after-sale support.

With regard to WTB's issue, it is my understanding that the kit (and plug wires) were performing properly on his first engine. Therefore, it is my belief that when the dealer swapped things around they may have damaged the plug wire in question.

Even so, a replacement wire was sent today (also for free) and should reach Texas by Saturday afternoon.

99% of the installation errors come from mechanics and technicians. Very strange.
Charles, YOU ARE THE MAN... I appreciate you sending me a new set of wires same day I emailed you, talk about good customer support and fast response... Thats why im BHR...

Back to the topic: Charles, Whenever the first engine peaced out Mazda told me the ignition was causing the misfires, so I myself swapped out the kit at their facility and put the stock one back on. Put I do think some Mazda techs Finger-Fucked my **** which could have broken them. I myself have always been careful because of your instructions, but im not saying it couldnt be me, because it probably was me that broke it.

i just hope this fixes the random misfires above 6K... I was talking to 9KRPMRX, he was having similar issues, So ive been talking to him but it seems his issue has been solved/ found...


I will keep this thread updated... Thanks

When you roll through PHX on the way to SevenStock this year, we will "talk" about it (since we didn't have the chance last year).

Err right, Doh, thats what I meant T2 spark plug wire...

AS for SevenStock I cant wait... I think me and another friend are gonna be splitting the cost and driving up there, not sure whose car yet but yes... Im sure we will have a chance to chill n' grill again at Jeff's/Erick's place and kick back, talk, play some Forza and get my *** kicked again by Erick lol.

I don't think we ever determined that so I just bought some new ones from you. They fit much more snug then the ones I had. But there has to be one good one there I am sure I don't throw anything away.
