    Hey all I'm not to sure if you can get the wires separate from the coil but my number 1 cylinder isn't firing so I would like to get a new used coil for it. And if you can take the wires off then I will just need the wire then. If you can help.me it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Justin

    The coil that fires #1 also fires #4 at the same time. The other coil fires #2 & #3. You may want to double-check to see if the coil is the problem.

    I'm not getting any spark on my number one, but number four is still firing. And I beleive its just the wire but I don't know if you can replace just the wire...wherein lies the problem as to if I have to buy a coil or can I get just wires.....

    Try cutting the wire back about a 1/4" and screw the cap back on. Might just get a better connection and save you the trouble of changing the coil.
    If you really want some fire power get a set of Dyna coils. See xj4ever he has them and the brackets to mount them properly.

    to replace the wire you have to cut into the coil body and do some pretty major surgery. also test the cap itself as they can go bad internally.

    A thing to try is swap plugs - 1 for 2 ; 3 for 4 , as your #1 plug could be fowled.
    New plugs recently solved someone's problem.
