Chef,

It sounds like you changed spark plugs and wires and one wire is too short? You probably put one somewhere that is too long and got stuck with one too short for the last plug. Trace them out and see if you can put the short one somewhere else.

^ Eric wins. This is the best place to start and should solve the problem. What wires are you using? Where did you buy them from?

Thanks for reply guys.

I just did replace plugs and some other maint stuff. Wire is OEM. And its not short or anything, its just won't clip into coilpack. Also what I know is you can swap coilpack to diff bank to bank but not the wire...no?

Here is picture that gives much an idea what plug/wire I'm talking about. (not mine)

I might pick up smaller ziptie than what I have at home. I wasn't sure if I can use ziptie cuz its right on block.

Btw...make sure you guys lock your tools box...

I stop working on car since I screw up big time on my z(biggest reason sent my car to uprev at that time). I didn't want to look at tools or working on car since that time.

Anyway I put one of my tool box in garage for 7~8months? and I finally opened yesterday...guess what I saw...DIRTY NASTY mouse was living in my tool box!!! Lucky that thing ran away from my house...I can deal with anything in the world but...not mouse...

Make sure lock ur tool box guys...

You could just source some 1/2 inch coolant caps and hose clamp them...

found at autozone - "HELP!" section..

the HELP! products are labeled like this:
