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.

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.

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..
