P2320 Ignition Coil G Sec Circ
Good day I was searching for an answer to this code P2320 I found 3 threads that are similar but not exactly what I was getting. I understand from
doing some research that this is coil 7 on the driver side. Just a quick back ground on what happened, I was at a red light when I noticed a burning
smell then a few seconds later I can see smoke but by the time the light turned green the smoke was gone. I didn't notice any issues while driving
home everything seemed normal. When I got home I popped the hood and I can smell like plastic was burning or something didn't see any. Long
story short I replaced coil 7 and the spark plugs thinking that would solve my issue but I am still getting that same code P2320 what else can it be?
How do I test if the wiring harness is good or not? Attached is how the coil and spark plugged looked

what am I looking for? Just a fyi I went to auto store and decided to buy a set of spark plug wires I replace the wire for coil 7 but still no luck. I figure heck I have new set of spark plug wires I might as well change my cables and spark plugs but I will go ahead and trace the harness all the way to the PCM and I will see what I can see. Thank you sir for the help thus far, much appreciated!!!!!
As a side note I don't notice any performance issues, I play b-ball on Sundays so I like to fill up before I go to my games. They gym is about 30 miles round trip and I don't notice any difference in gas consumption. I gunned it a few times and it takes off like normal, out of the 5 times I did it only once did it lag for 2-3 sec then it kicked it and took off. I went ahead and replace the coil 7 spark plug wire with a new one just go back racing a few folks and it behaves as normal. The guy at Auto Zone we were talking and I explained to him what I was seeing and he said that perhaps I have to go through 25 starts before it clears?!?!? That didn't sound right but we will see.

I looked at the spark plug wire before I swapped it out with the new one and both look the same. I also looked at the wire that connects to the harness that leads to the PCM and that too looks good, I was looking for any burnt or mis-coloration of any kind but didn't see any. I will snap a pic tomorrow perhaps I missed something. After all my work I would have to hate to bring it in but if I have to then I guess I will.
