The problem
Increased resistance in the system wiring connectors due to the possible presence of lacquer, plastic residue on the pins and imperfect pin diameters, may cause ignition misfiring and, in extreme cases, intermittent stalling.
The fix
Dealer will inspect and insert contact pin sleeves designed to scrape any lacquer or unwanted residue away. This will produce higher contact pressure within the connector and improve the electrical connection.
