so, the head of the coil pack, where it connects to the spark plug, is still attached to the spark plug inside the engine.....the coil pack itself is in my hand....

How can I get the head of the coil pack out.......any ideas....I searched the forumns and FAQ and could find nothing regarding this problem...

I am going to spray the coils and the spark plug tube with some "wire dryer" put it back together and see if she idles normally.....if that doesn't work I am going to be towing it to a dealer, which I do not want to do....

Please HELP!!!!!

Thanks,

Bart

 

Pictures? Is the plastic of the coil pack in one piece? Is it just the wire itself that is out?

The reason why I ask... if the plastic itself is broken, there's a good chance your spark plug worked itself loose and you sent a fireball up to melt the coilpack.

 

It did not melt.

to know what i am talking about, Have a look at the "spark plug change" in the FAQ section of Under the Hood. halfway down on the first page you will find a good pic of the coil packs. The tip of the coil pack is a seperate peice that is glued to the shaft of the coil pack. This peice came loose from the shaft and is now sitting on the spark plug inside the engine.

I don't know how to get it out without breaking it or hurting something else in the engine.

any ideas????

 

From a local auto store, there are little "grabber" wands you can use to pull that thing out.

Is there a hole in the coil pack head? You can use a "screw extractor" to remove it, in that case.
