Can you run a coil pack upside down?
I've been chasing the P2A00 and P2A03 "ghost codes" all around my car for a couple months now (both banks go rich). Its all been a bunch of fun and all but I saw something today that perplexed and disturbed me. I had removed the intake and was digging around looking for vacuum leaks when I discovered that some loon put my #6 coil pack in upside down. The "F" printed on it is clearly inverted and there was a wiring harness bracket piggybacked onto its bolt . A valve cover bolt was also missing, it had angered them I suppose... After yelling and stuff I determined that this character had just went ahead and jabbed a B1 ignition coil from somewhere in there upside down to make it fit on B2.
Now, I'm not a smart man but id like to think this is all wrong, causing dodgy spark and leaking air and what have you. If I were an ECU that would freak me out. I cant find any reference to this sort of thing in the FSM either and don't know if I should let it go or what considering I'm seeing intermittent fuel spikes in both banks not just that one.
