Default Intermittent miss solved

Hi,
I was getting a miss and 3 times a major stumble. I found a loose wire and pushed it until it clicked... Hummm no click. The problem was a bad coil connector wire was shot too at connector. Chevy told me it would take a week or so to order. I picked up a Delphi on AMAZON.
I will replace them all this week. I have new wires and plugs too.

I’d stay away from parts from Amazon…Rock Auto or your NAPA dealer would be a better choice…too many counterfeit parts on Amazon…the dealer would be your best bet though if they have the part you need.

Thanks, I understand but no one has it. Ill see how it works out in the next week or so. It passed the smell test and was better than the "denso" that it replaced

RockAuto shipping costs suck but their choice of selections is hard to beat. NAPA is good as long as you didn’t get the “brain dead” counter guy.

[/QUOMTE] Maybe it's me, but that secondary tower doesn't look too good?

I still buy “genuine” GM/ACDelco parts on Amazon, but the first thing I do is click on the one star reviews for complaints about counterfeit parts, bulk packaged parts, general poor quality remarks. And there are, indeed, plenty of sketchy sellers. It’s not perfect, but has steered me away from some sellers.

I’d rather use Summit, SD Parts, or Rock Auto, and perhaps pay shipping if Amazon isn’t rock solid. Still, I have bought a **** load of parts on Amazon with great success (after vetting reviews).
