Re: melted coil pack

The shield is a wire mesh ground which stops stray voltages from causing problems.
Usually a cover for a wire which is pulsed like a coil wire. The spark plug wires can cause some problems.
I have purchased shielded cable with a covering like aluminum foil. I unwrapped this and used a crimped connector for a ground wire.
My son tried using regular wire and his vehicle didn't work correctly and he purchased shielded wire.
