NASIOC Thread on coil packs wrong...

[mikey_b6]

theres a thread for 2012 wrx/sti (idk if this applies for 2011 and 2013 but I figure it does) saying that when you change your spark plugs, that the coil packs go back in with the white tagged coil in the front of the engine. that's wrong. I did that and fired it up, none of the cylinders fired, but I had a hell of a backfire in a closed garage... so I figured if its not running, might as well put them backwards for fault isolation. and wouldn't you know it, it fired up just fine. I did my spark plugs today along with completing my half a@# finished secondary air pump delete. ill make a thread about how much fun (not) that really is.

by the way to clearify. the white coated harness goes in the back cylinders toward the transmission. the ones with black tape coated are toward the front of the engine closest to the radiator
