Well i feel like an idiot
One of the wires on my last coil kept coming loose so i took it off but the top of the coil was still connected to the wire so i took pliers to get the wire and plastic piece apart and i broke it... awesome!

i called a shop and they said they might be able to overnight one tonight but not to get my hopes up... i have constructed a makeshift coil system as of right now just so it stays there and i will take it easy till i get the new one...

i felt like an idiot for sure

Not as bad as leaving the jack on your car after your work and then drive off.

Sounds to me like he MacGyver'd it, so he probably has somewhere between 3 and 4.....possibly intermittently.
