Ok, story starts with some aftermarket spark plug wires (will never put them on
again.. ever) and getting to work with my car sputtering to open the hood and
find the wire that connects from the distributor cap to the coil (I think).
Ended up melting part of the coil so had to get a new one.

Now after getting the new coil there seems to be some weirdness going on. When
I'm driving, at seemingly random times, a clicking sound, not unlike the ABS
clicks comes from the glovebox direction and it seems to short the electronics
out for a split second, and I can see the lights dim and there's a very subtle
shot to the car's power. I checked the ABS fuses and the wires around the coil
area and everything seems to be alright with no bare wires or anything..

I'm curious if you guys have any ideas I should follow up on..

Also, after they put the coil in my belts seem to sqeaul a lot more than the
fairly short cold start squeal that it's been doing since I got the car in March.

I'm looking to trade the car in pretty quick before it starts to nickle and dime
me to death, so I just want to have it in good condition right now with nothing
too expensive to repair..

Thanks for any ideas
