Has anyone had to replace the engine wiring harness?

I was told I need to and it costs about $4K....

I am considering trading in for a 3 if that's true.

Update: Probably going to buy a CPO 2012 3 but keep the 8 too.

I doubt it is the harness, what kind of problems are you having? A 2012 what?

Oh,

I was getting several CELs and then she died on me.... Before that power steering was locking up as well. I decided to trade it instead of fix it. 2013 Mazda3 Sport SkyActiv MT6. This is my 3rd Mazda now... And I like what I see with the SkyActiv 3 so far.

Gonna miss the SARX group... But I likely will not be getting another 8. An RX-9 when/if it comes out is possible....

Gents,

I have a custom LS2 ignition set-up for sale.

Kit comes with all 4 LS2 coils, mounting plate, harness, ground cable and 2 sets of custom ordered plug wires.

**Disclaimer** - I belive the kit has one bad coil in the set-up. the coils are very inexpensive (less than $20.00) but I just never got around to testing to find out which one is bad. Other than that, the kit is sound. This is the reason I am selling so cheap. I paid $350.00 for the kit last year.

I will take all the pictures you want. Just e-mail me @ jewagr007@gmail.com or feel free to call me @ (985) 856-8085. I will answer any questions you have.
