shortly after the warranty ran out the number 4 coil keeps burning out. the top of the coil where the spark plug wire goes in keeps burning up. i have replaced the coil several times and the same thing keeps happening. i have replaced the wires several times too. then after i have replaced the coil and wires it burns up at the first sign of moisture. what can i do to stop this from happening?

have you tried using dielectric grease on all of the contacts? this will keep moisture out.
