2007 MT RX-8
78,000 mi
Coils, plugs, and wires replaced @ ~60k
So recently I was driving my 8 when the engine started continuously misfiring. I'm fairly familiar with this as that is what began to happen when I last replaced my coils and plugs. I immediately drove to an Autozone to have them check the CEL to confirm my suspicion and maybe point to any other problems that could be going on. Once I arrived I noticed that one of my spark plug wires (leading front) had come loose. I immediately reconnected it and tried to start the car, but at that point the engine had flooded. They read the code and it indicated a cylinder 1 misfire, so I called my dad to come boost me while I deflooded the engine. After we got it running there was still a continuous misfire, so I limped it a few miles back to my house.
Today, while ripping out all of my wires and coils I noticed that the connection to my trailing front coil was completely melted out. I assume this was causing my misfire after reconnecting the loose wire. So my question is: would the loose leading wire have caused an overcurrent flow into the trailing coil that caused the connection to melt or is there some other electrical issue that's been slowly melting it that I need to look into?
I've pulled all the coils, plugs, and wires. The plugs and wires all seem to have normal resistance through them, but the one coil is definitely f***ed.
