Coil pack cleaning

My Fit is undrivable, top speed is like 35 mph now lol, and it takes forever to even reach that. Full throttle (obviously the ECU limits the RPMs and keeps it in the 'safe mode')

I saw some guides on cleaning a coil pack (other cars), and they're pretty helpful but the basic gist of it is wipe-it-with-a-rag, I dunno, I want something more descriptive to go with, maybe? Should I put bulb grease/die electric grease on the boot and the connector on top?

I'd like some 'professional Honda coil pack cleaner' advice.

I need to get some drivability on it until my coil packs arrive. 35 mph isn't getting me anywhere, lol.

Cleaning the packs as much as you can and packing with dielectric grease is good.

It depends how they look. pull your coils out and compare them. when mine went out it was physically apparent which one had burnt up. there were some serious heat marks.

I dont think cleaning it would do anything since there was no corrosion when I pulled the boot off, but that was just in my case.

Yeah, I doubt I'd really find any dirt on it to clean. I'll pull it on the weekend.

I was just thinking that it might be the valve adjustment? I don't know cause last time my problem wasn't this bad. Now it stalls if you put it in drive on the garage ramp, you have to keep the revs up or else it dies. Sounds more and more like a valve issue.
