When I got my 7, the battery was not very well secured.
I thought I had wedged it in there well enough. yesterday the battery came loose and I think it struck the trailing coil tower. The car suddenly wasn't running well and the tach was bouncing all over the place. I could figure it out. Then I started the car and noticed a big ol spark from the coil tower.
Any ways, when I was replacing the coil, I droped the spacer for the coil holding bracket into the coil holes in the fender.

How can I get it out of there. I know this has happened to someone.

 

long magnetic wand maybe?

 

Dont sweat it, and dont worry about it, just go to a hardware store and by a piece of tube steel... Or maybe there might be some washers thick enough to take care of it... When stuff like that happens to me, I wont spend 2 or 3 hours looking for something that probally will cost me 50 cents... Good luck...

 

That's all well and good but I'm the sort of person that would go insane knowing that the damn thing's rolling around in there somewhere. Hmm, I think that poster on the wall's a little bit crooked.

 

the damn coil will not stop arcing. I have replaced the coil twice and it hasn't gotten any better. This sucks. What could it be. I dont even think it is going through the tower I think the arc is traveling up the tower to the wire.
