I TOTALLY agree.^

Mice had nested on top of my coils, AND munched on a couple of the plug wires too. One wire was arching (as seen in total darkness), giving reason why only ONE plug was not firing in a "waste spark" situation. (Too bad too. The damaged wires were original with the roll-stamped with the LT5 lettering. I ended up selling or giving the rest away to someone needing a spare original (or two) for their NCRS car: same rodent issue.)
