Don't wash your engine bay..... I'm pretty sure the water killed it. Even though it was 12 hours later after I washed it.

So technically the failure was my fault

I've only lost one coil myself as well, and it was also due to my own engine washing. Never again.

Watch out if you ever wash your engine. I killed two coil packs by washing and hosing off

Could this be a sign of a coil pack problem?
