you might have done something on install of the plugs. otherwise there is no rime or reason that i can think of I had a 03 VIII with 45k miles and like $10k in go fast mods and only need plugs a few times

Well, I disconnected the battery, replaced the plugs, reconnected the wires as before. The only thing I can think of is the order that I reconnected the wires, but would that really matter (with the battery disconnected)? Do the coil packs have their own battery to remember the connect order that they were plugged in? I did plug in 1-2-3-4. I didn't know it had to be 1-3-2-4.

so you had the wires plugged into the wrong ones? if so that would do it, thats what I said from the first post I made in here.

They wires fit in normal pattern easy. you can make them fit in the opposite but its tight if im not mistaken. I dont remember from the last time I did my plugs

No, I may have miscommunicated the point. The wires were plugged in exactly as they were before. The only thing I thought may be the order that I actually plugged them in. If the battery was disconnected, would the order I plugged them in even matter?

I doubt it as long as the battery is not hooked up. I dont really know, did you disconet the Neg termanal or poss (which has the red cover)? I know I am asking very general things but just scratching at the small things

Ok, it ended up being the coil packs that went bad. It's running great again. Thanks for the help. I just don't know why the packs would blow.
