I just bought NGK spark plug wires, 2 trailing NGK spark plugs, and 2 leading NGK spark plugs... Installed them then raced my buddy with a eagle talon, and when i shifted and like 6 rpm's or 5 rpm's id backfire everytime. It usually didnt do that like ever.

Also theres a weird beeping noise and random times usually when i rev up for a snow drift, but its weird cause the beep sounds like its coming from the driver's side. It didnt do this weird beeping noise before the spark plug and wires install.

Did i install them wrong or what? Or is this just normal i guess?

 

the beeping may be your rev beep when u hit 6800 it should beep to tell u that u are getting to red line..

as for the backfire it is possible that u are running top notch now.. otherwise maybe u installed them incorrect

what plugs did u use? and what wires (part numbers)

 

Alright, so no idea which one is trailing or leading for the part numbers but....

Part numbers:

3559 - BUR7EQ
5483 - BUR9EQ
8156 - RC-ZE02 ( Wires )

First numbers are a stock number, not sure if that means anything.

If anyone needs information, it's a 1986 n/a stock with 277k.

 

looks like the right stuff.. I would make sure u have your wire on right

can u tell me what wires went to what coil and where u put each plug?

 

the bur7eq's go on the bottom plug (leading)

 

I put the trailing on the top and leading on the bottom....Leading are going to the ignition system at the front right beside the washer fluid being the smaller system and trailing plugs are going to the bigger ignition system at the front right back being the bigger one.

Honestly I have no idea what the plugs go to what are called but it says ignition system on it. I feel like an idiot not knowing stuff about my car or atelast not yet.

 

I think that is right let me grab my service manual and re check that

 

ok the leading plugs should be going to the coil in the front of the car by the headlight

trailing plugs go to the coils by the firewall

 

also

the boots of the leading (lower) spark plugs are black and the trailing (upper) spark plug boots are blue

the number one wires are marked with a white band on them, and they do to the cooresponding coil with a white dot on it

 

err im wrong......

 

the plugs will have a small T or L on them the leading plugs are on bottom trailing on top

Dave

 

yep, the plugs with the T go on top. Rotor one is towards the front, rotor 2 to the rear. The beeping is likely the RPM buzzer. rev up to 6800 and see if it beeps.

 

Does the wire color matter? I don't know If I put mine on wrong or not. I figured the wires wouldn't matter as long as the plugs were connected to the right coils.

 

its not that they matter but thesy were designed to be different colors to help make sure everything is plugged in correctly

Dave

 

Just to add, the plug wires from the leading ignitor, front of engine bay, will go to the lower plugs with a L stamp. It doesn't matter which plug wire to which plug. Your choice.
The wires from the trailing ignitor, rear of engine bay, MUST be connected to a corresponding top or T plug. On the ignitor you will see a 1 and that wire MUST go to the top front plug, and then 2 MUST go to the rear top plug.

I think you'd be greatly more informed if you purchased at least a Chilton manual. It may save some headaches.

 

correct thats what I was saying about the dot the front top wire should have a white band and the front most coil (near firewall) should have a white dot on it. thus why your wires shoudl correspond with your coils..

 

Beeping from the drivers side is normally generated by the PS computer.

 

Well, I'm quite sure mine is in correct I was just asking if it really mattered. Anyway I don't have a chilton I have a haynes.

 

So after all your inputs, i checked into it and everything is right.

Didnt hear the buzzer on the drivers side, and I accelerated up to 7 rpm's and shifted. I back fired once again and no beep.
