Hi,
I own a '94 Chevy Corsica, and one of the cylinder heads way in the back where it's hard to reach (near the firewall, I guess) has been stripped beyond do it yourself repair. The hole is so big that a helicoil isn't going to help.
Since I know that I'll need to replace the cylinder head, and because I don't currently have the money or time, I went ahead and "plugged up" the cylinder head hole so that the air would stop coming out. I know that a lot of you will tell me that was very stupid, and I know it was, but I don't think I had much of a choice when I don't have enough money for a repair. That's how broke I am. But I will replace the cylinder head eventually. Now here is my question:
Anyway, now that the hole has been plugged up, there is now a spark plug wire without a spark plug. Now that the car is missing a spark plug, it's missing really bad, and making a lot of noise. So my question is, is it possible to splice that spark plug wire (the one dangling without a spark plug) into another spark plug wire? I need some sort of impluse to go through that spark plug wire, or it's going to keep giving me grief. So could it be spliced with another wire that's hooked up to another spark plug back near the firewall, or would it possibly cause a short out? Any do's and don'ts about this sort of stuff?
thanks
