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

day on a Bell-47 for 3 month on the ocean!!
