2001 S40 -"Female Connector for Ignition Coils?"

[ajattridge]

Hello-

My '01 Volvo S40's check engine light came on and has been sputtering constantly. When this happened in '09 I replaced my spark plugs and everything was fine.

I didn't have time to change the plugs myself so I took it to my mechanic and he replaced my plugs; however, he told me that the electrical connectors at the coil need to be replaced. I asked him to explain further and he described my need for a two-pin female connector to attach to each coil. I need two sets of these.

Can anyone help me find the specific part name or number? Any advice about what I would need in all to fix this issue? I cannot find this in my Haynes book and would like to fix this before the brutal NY winter.

Thank you!

On our V70 , I got careless and broke one of those...had to use a plastic zip tie to cinch it up and secure it. They get brittle with the heat but I did not see how it could be replaced without replacing the entire line that runs not only to the main ignition terminal but also it seems on your car to take into account a few other sensors. For two to be broken, I would suspect that your mechanic might have broken them trying to get them loose from the ignition coils. Take a good look at them and see if they come apart and if there's a part number etched in them.
