Ive asked the question before, I replaced my wires cap and rotor along with a coil and I still have problems with a bad miss and arcing coils/wires. Could this be an issue with a bad ignitor or maybe just cheap wires? Any help would be great.

 

Cheap wires. Ignitor has nothing to do with high voltage arc, except for the fact it is triggering the coil to fire the 60,000 volts thru the coil wire, to the distributor cap. Thru the rotor to the spark plug.

Must be pretty on dark winter night to pop the hood while the engine is running.


Buy some decent plug/coil wires.

clean the coil towers and the cap towers, too. Then use dieletric grease in the wire boots.

 

Still arcing, Im taking the cheap *** wires I was talked into buying back and getting the Bosch set, any better than the Autozone cheapies?

 

NGK Plugs and NGK Wires is what I say!

 

STILL doing it, this is bullshit any help?

 

could somthing be grounding itself out?

 

Where do you see it arcing at?
Cap, coils?
BTW what year cars is this?



J-

 

Ive replaced one coil, the cap, rotor, wires, and plugs. Any help?

 

Where is it arcing at exactly? Electricity will take the easiest path to ground it can find so if its accesible it will.

 

get new wires
napa has good wires for a good price in my experience

 

I think he has other issues than plug wires, he's on his second set. Need to know where its arcing at..

 

I got two new coils today and am going to swap tonite
