2 sensors and 1 harness. the harness does not need to be spliced.

I'd say it would be a single harness.

Sorry to change the subject:


I notice you are running MSD coils. What sort of reliability are you getting?

I have them and have experienced failures. When I first put the set on they were great for about 4 months. Then I started to get a rough/slow idle and random misfire codes, usually after a long drive. It eventualy led to a burning smell from them and total failure. I sent the whole set back to MSD under RGA and they replaced 4 coils. 3 dead and 1 low output.

I was afraid to put them back on the car, so I left them sittng for about 6 months. I finaly decided to try them again. Put them on last week and the car was running great. Pulled into my driveway this weekend after a long drive and the rough idle thing started again. Shut off the car and let it cool down and then it ran fine again.

I am thinking I still have a bad coil. Also, it appears to be some sort of heat sink problem. It is worse in hot weather and only happens after a long drive.

I can't say I've had any of the problems you are having. I got mine from a friend who had a coil fail and they sent him 9 new ones. I'm not too sure why you are having the issues though. Mine work just as good as the stock ones, I can't say there was any performance increase but they sure do look nice....
