Well i already ordered the wires and they are hear tomorrow. As of right now i have No issues with the wires, but i would like to get any maintenance out of the way because i want no issues with my car come 2009....think i should return the wire and get my cash back or through them on just to be a "Careful Nancy"?

if it gives you a warm and fuzzy with new wires, go for it nancy. i found out my car doesnt like iridium autolites. it likes ngk tr55s though. i personally dont like the FRPP wires. too friggin long. i dont have the downtime right now to toy with them. i have MSDs and major project mods i have to do too. what wires are you using now?

have a garage? if so, leave your hood open. have the lights out. and have someone start the car and watch under hood for any sparks. if you see sparks. change em. this checks the integrity of the silicone. and you mentioned it ran like poop after washing.

Ha, if only it were that easy.

Driving an older car like ours pretty much gaurantees that you will have some stupid problem over the course of the year.


My radiator cap just stopped working for example....not a big deal but something stupid always seems to be breaking with these cars.
