What kind of wires are they? i got some accel wires that would not clip onto the plugs or the dizzy cap. Make sure they are hooked on VERY tight.

Click to expand...


they are stock wires, i'm going to get new ones probably this weekend because im going out of town tonight (not in my car)

they are on there as tight as i can get them,

the only thing i can think that is wrong with it from what you guy;s have told me is either a funky vaccum line, a busted plug, or a plug thats ungapped?

are they platinum plugs ? someone else might be able to answer this...but what would happen with 6 platinum plugs and 2 copper plugs?

As far as gapping them, i just put some in my car and i forgot to gap them, and my car runs fine. Unless the gap is WAY off, it shouldn't be a problem
