Not sure what you're trying to accomplish but the Vibe engine uses COPs (coil on plug - not coil packs) which eliminate the spark plug wires. This is somewhat different from the coil packs used on a GM LS motor that still use spark plug wires.

oh see i didnt know that, i just assumed that they were individual coil packs, I dont know much about my vibe, as far as engine wise. I bought it for 2000 from my mom so i figured if it was like the VR6 those coil packs die all the time, and its cheaper to get the MSD ones that are for the LS motor
