wouldnt know about the cracks... maybe overtightening when mounting... but not sure...

as for the wiring harness... the coil pack wiring is a common problem but i havnt heard of the MAF wiring harness meltig before... thats a new one. My car was doing simular thing for the last year and I couldnt ever figure it out... stand on it from a dead stop and it would buck the car hard as if it wasnt getting any fuel... Ive replaced everything... fuel pump, filter, coil pack, coil harness, plugs, wires, pcv system, checked it over for leaks time and time again... checked the dpfe... nothing was working.... I finally finished my new motor build and dropped it in with every sensor on the motor replaced and so far... it seems like the problem is gone... so I'm lead to believe its a sensor problem.

W/ my xcal hooked up and datalogging... I noticed I was dropping ignition advance when this would happen... sometimes it would retard the timing instead of advancing it.. but no one could tell me what would cause it....

anyways... hope this gives you some ideas as to what to look for.

good luck
