Installed the cap and rotor first and it ran much smoother and had a very large improvement on the under boost missfire but it was still there. Coil (Bosh OE)...

I used bob850's method today on my V70R and it's probably the cheapest and easiest solution! My original cable was very corroded just below the lug on the battery and it was so bad that the cable didn't flex at all for that first inch.

The usual problem is positive battery cable which goes from battery to starter and then the other end...from starter t...
