Sparks and Wires

mu5t4ng · January 7th, 2007, 11:27 PM

So, with my car doing that stupid hesitation now, im guessing its the spark plugs. When that hose blew coolant got everywhere and in some of the spark plugs. If i am to buy new plugs do i absolutely need to buy new wires? Should I check the wires? Also, if i pull the plugs out to clean them, do i have to throw anti-seize on them before i put them back in?

Yes, put anti-seize on'em, I put it on everything just about 'cause those little packages are what? 99 cents? Be sure to have compressed air handy to blow out any debris (in your case coolant lol) before you take out your plugs to keep anything from falling into the hole when you pull 'em out. Wires and plugs, generally, go bad after 60K miles but I'd def check everything out. No sense in spending money on new plugs just to hook deteriorated wires up to them... right? lol
Hopefully that'll be the end of your 'hesitation' problem.. at least you'll idle smoother with new ignition components, I know mine did.
Not that you asked for it but IMO NGK and MSD make the best ignition components for our cars and at fair prices.
