Hi all,

I started to replace the spark plugs on my '99 2.5L in preparation of Massachusetts thawing out eventually.

One question - when I re-seat the coil connector on the plug, I don't feel a positive engagement on the plug like I'm accustomed to on my other vehicles. It feels as if the coil connector is just floating 'around' the plug. I've taken a plug and a connector and tried it on a bench - no 'lock' or engagement there either.

Is there just not a noticeable engagement on these connectors?

Thanks,
-Michael
