i have just about finished doing this my car and let me tell you......never again if you want to do it right you will have to remove the intake manifold, also replace them with brass ones and use plenty of stag or take it to a mechanic because its migraine

Replace ALL the welsh plugs while you are about it. If one has failed, the rest can't be too far behind.

Your overheating problem is probably because you are running a thermo fan (that's my experience, anyway).

Because a thermo fan relies on on air moving through the radiator only when the car is moving. This isn't always guaranteed. Air can escape out under the car rather than pass through the radiator.

The factory fan is always working, and always draws air through the radiator.

    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
