vacuum leak at the intake manifold can cause idle problems as well.

...yes, because vacuum leaks in the intake system are so often responsible for making engines run on 1 rotor.

So to the OP...exactly how long does it take you to change sparkplugs anyway? I expected to hear that this thing was up and running again. I could have built a motor, installed it, and put 200 miles on it by now.

Apparently I missed the part where he stated that he was runing on one rotor. Which is quite obvious on how I worded my input, well obvious except to you.

ok no need to start arguements over my mess

1. I pretty much have school till 5pm everyday and by then im either burnt out (auto major) or its raining and it gets dark by 6.

I had to order plugs since they arent stocked locally and i really want to change out the wires or the one wire that has a bad boot. Anyone know if i can just rip off the boot and get a repalcement? Wires are magnecor but are still fairly new.
If no go on new boot then i have a forum member i will just buy plugs off of.

I also have a set of good condition solenoids that i have been waiting to throw on and because i have do do all work outside my apartment complex id rather not have to keep taking the manifold off....not that its hard its just a pain in the ***

I'd recommend oem ngk plug wires. I've never liked taylors, magnecores etc. Personal preference, I've seen oem plug wires on FDs making over 600 rwhp.
