Hi everyone.

So I'm having an issue with one of my coil packs, I found one of them blow out (pack 4)so I replaced them all, they are not the best of the best coil packs, I only paid $220 for 6 of them, anyway I replaced them an now the same one (pack 4) has blow again, Iv checked how much power each pack is getting thinking it could have been the harness but that seams to be good, just seeing if anyone has had the same issue or might know what the problem could be, thanks.

The picture is of the first coil pack I took out that was blown an the second one did the same thing.

How likely could it be the timing of the dwell on the ecu to keep stuffing up that 4th pack?

The dwell is the same on all six though, right? Higher dwell will run them hotter, so you would expect that to reduce their life, but I would expect that worst case it would just kill the primary coil, which would then become an open or short circuit. That big chunk out of the side is some weird shit.

Do you have an aftermarket ECU?

I'm not sure if the dwell is the same for all six, how would I find that out?

Iv only had the car for three or so months now an it does need a tune..

Can the dwell affect just one pack? Maybe it's too high on pack 4 an keeps burning it out?

An I'm running a 6860 ecu

    • Oh, also, forgot to add these photos I believe.
    • Thought i'd update on this. I was able to get in contact with Craig Lieberman and later on Darryl Alison (owner of Kaizo Industries). Darryl was able to help me verify that my car was in fact one of theirs and is helping me find more info on mine !
    • There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.
    • Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂
    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
