Ngk wire set

I'm going to do my first tune up on the car since I bought it. I saw it had 4 ngk wire for the spark plug. I was wondering if the wire can be reuse for the spark plugs or do I have to replace the whole set? Thanks guys

Ngk wire set

its best practice to replace both plugs AND wires, especially if you don't know the history of the vehicle

generally you can reuse, if they are in good shape. if you have big bucks, just replace. if you have small bucks pull them off, look for damage, and then get the volt/ohm meter and check for resistance. new wires are around 7k ohms, and the limit is 16k ohms, if they are over 16k ohms, they are bad.

Just too add, the new NGK wires for our cars are longer than the originals, so the routing is a bit different.

Yes and you might want to cut some of the plastic insulation to lock the wires in the plastic holders. It's too thick with the insulation.
