    Heat and grease is enemy of plastic wire insulation......its really a no brainer

    much easier/cheaper to replace loom or tape.....instead of splicing new wires

    especially on the header side

    Suspect most crank sensors dont fail at the sensor.......think the pigtail degrades and starts causing intermittent problems....no starts
