Trailing Coil Short
My trailing coil for the back rotor ("T2"), this is an N/A '86, shorts out at the coil. I can see and hear the spark jump through the wire and short on the thing that both coils mount onto. I pulled off the plug wire on coil end, and it was rusty, and I looked into the coil and it was in worse shape that the other "T1" coil. I can't say that I saw rust in the coil or not.
Can I try to scrape off rust on wire, like corrosion off a battery terminal?
Is it bad to try to scrape the inside of the coil?
Is the coil shot, and I need to buy a new one?
Is it even that big of a deal since the trailing coils are more for emissions than
performance, (or so that's how i understand it)?
