clean ignition coils

is it ok to use electrical connector cleaner to clean oil off of a coil? my spark plug tube seals are leaking and this weekend im gona be replacing my timing belt and everything that goes with it so i figured id spray the coils to make sure there is no more oil on the plugs or coils. any suggestions appreciated (dont really want to pay $200 for new coils if the ones in it work)

Re: clean ignition coils

I'd hose them off with brake cleaner. Thoroughly.

If the rubbers are swollen from oil soaking, you need coil(s). Junkyard?
