help plugging in coils

[pixelplay]

I am having an issue with the plugs that go onto the coil packs I cant seem to get two of them to lock on and they just remain loose. Is there some trick to getting them to fit nicely.

Hulk rage. If they're the plugs I'm thinking of they're sealed, so they're both water and airtight, and this makes plugging them in a gigantic anus.

They are the plugs from the loom that fit the the coil pack, as I had the manifold off. and yeah cant make them go back on two of them.

Here is a pic of the culprits

The clips might be broken pretty common , just use cable ties to wrap it tight

Yea clips break on those had same issue. Plug them in before you fit coils.

Checked them with a mirror and sure enough the lugs were missing on the plug pack side, so they were just pushed on and sitting loose. Caused major issues for me last night when i took the car for a run. Got a nice piece of road and got it onto boost and as soon as i got off the accelerator she was missing and farting around. Was really annoying and because i had had so many vacuum and boost issues I expected it to be something like that, but the plugs were quite loose and after cable tying them to the plugpacks its now idling nice again.

Cheers for the help though guys its sure making diagnostics faster for me.
