I also started to get mis-fires on my 2.0L at around 40k miles, so I had my original wires replaced with a new set of factory wires and Bosch Platinum Spark Plugs (MISTAKE). |

some aftermarket wires are sporting a bigger diameter. Supposedly delivers the spark quicker and i.e a lil better performace. So...... if you have to replace them I would buy aftermarket bigger diameter wires that come with lifetime warranty as oem does not have such a warranty. P.S Autotech red wires are pretty good http://****************.com/smile/emthup.gif |

Don't be fooled. Often times those larger diameter wires are merely added insulator not added conductor. Also a larger wire adds resistance to the elctricity hurting perofrmance if you do not have an upgraded ignition. well a larger diameter wire would theorectically yield less resistance Modified by MikeBlaze at 7:01 PM 5-12-2003 |
