Spark Plug Wire

I put heat shield around the wires that are near my headers but they are still so close to the header that im worried they will burn the spark plug wire. I want to wrap header wrap around the headers just in the areas where the wires are real close to the tubes, im just wondering will i repeatedly have problems? If i will i will have to reroute my plugs over the valve covers.

the wrap will help but I would reroute my wires to keep them as far away from the headers as possible. Why take the chance on ruining them?

Every time i drive my car the spark plug wire keeps popping off and i cant figure out why? Its only two of them that do it consistantly but some times two more on the other side do it too.

take the bad wire off the plug and squeeze the metal end that fits over the end of the plug closed some with pliers so it will fit tighter onto the plug.

Hi,

Can anyone tell me how to change the spark plug wires on my 94 Taurus wagon. The gas station wanted to charge us $500 to change them along with the distributor cap/rotor and spark plugs.

We found a video on how to do the others ...and its pretty straight forward. Please share any insight you may have.

Thanks

Take the old ones off one at a time. Match it to a new one and put the new one back on in it's place. DO NOT PULL THEM ALL OFF AT ONCE or you can easily mess up the firing order.

"Snap lock" terminals or OEM style connectors ensures that wires are tightly crimped to the connectors to exceed OEM standards, providing worry-free installation and re-installation
Stainless steel Mag winding delivers maximum voltage to the spark plug for a hotter, more powerful, and longer spark resulting in optimum engine performance while reducing the chance for misfire, and eliminating radio static
EPDM inner insulation stops power-robbing voltage leaks

I bought universal MSD Spiral Core Street Fire spark plug wires the other day. Some of the wires are pretty long and i just wanted to see if the length would cause a loss in voltage? If the length does effect voltage should i cut the wires to make them shorter in length?

As long as your coil is capable of putting out the voltage needed, it won't be a problem. It will supply whatever voltage is necessary to get to ground. A longer wire will require more voltage, but not that much. The spark plug gap requires more than the longest plug wire. If you want to cut them shorter simply for appearance sake, that certainly can be done, but you have to be good at stripping wires. Just cut it a little longer than you want it, strip off about 1/2 inch of insulation on the end you're shortening, bend the filament over to the side so the terminal will clamp down on it, and spray the boot with some silicone spray to slip it on. (practice with your old ones first) New terminals are easier, but you can get by with re-using the old ones if you're careful taking them off.

My new spark plugs wires dont have numbers or anything, how could i possibly tell which one is which? and do different spark plug wires have different powers?, i would assume so, since they are different lengths.

You change ONE at a time and match up the length of the old with the new as you go. Remove one end of the wire and follow it to its destiniation, disconnect it, match it up with the new wire and install the new wire. Move on to the next one and repeat until they've all been changed.Do not remove them all from your engine at once. Change them one at a time so you dont mess up the firing order.
