Thought the coils were a long shot.
I'm still not sure where the connection that failed was (connector contact
or the unknown connection at the end of the pigtail left by cutting the
connector off the Mazda harness) but I do like treating all connector contacts
with a corrosion inhibitor. My favorite is Corrosion X. I like
soldered connections for this reason too. I'll do my own stress relief to
get it away from the potential stiff connection at the solder joint. To
each his own though.

Get some SP-400!
If you fancy it, mask the to be treated
area - then aply a thin coat (shake
the can really well and repeat
often...).
Get over any all connectors that are suspect to moisture.
It
will form a thin wax like coat. Re-apply at least one more time after
a
couple of hours or overnight.
Areas that are really in the "wet" you
should apply up to 5 coats.
It takes a while to do a good job, but:
It
is transparent - you alway see the connection
The coat gets a little harder
with time, but always stays flexible
