Well your this far in.Swap coil packs assuming new plugs have been installed.Did the miss swap?If it did order yourself a new coil.You might want to be careful pulling plugs if they haven't been done.They corrode on the end and bring threads with it.If their stuck break them lose then apply penetrating oil,run them back in apply more let set work with them dont just go gung ho

have the spark plugs ever been changed? At a minimum the plugs should be inspected every 200 hours and replaced every 3,600 hours or 18 months. Probably should contact your CAT Lift Dealer. Since you removed harnesses from coil packs, fault codes have been set.
