I had been having an intermitent misfire on cyls 5 and 2. the codes kept telling me that there was a problem with the coil pack for those cylinders. I finally found that I have an intermittent short inside the computer connector. I proved it by unplugging the connector and found that pusing or pulling on the wire bundle at the base, I can make it go from 0 to infinite resistance.

Last summer, I rebuilt the wiring harness, but I spliced into the original wiring just before the computer connector because the insulation was pristine and it still is. But now there is a short. I can't seem to get the connector apart easily and I am afraid to force it. Any ideas?

Thanks
