My spark plug wire that goes to the leading spark plug is extremly loose feeling on the plug. it comes off with easy and i can't get it to "snap" on. The wire that goes to the secondary spark is much tighter and doesnt come off easily. How can i get the wire to "snap" on the plug? how much damage will it do to drive with the loose plug wire? and if the wire is just sitting on the plug.....will it still spark? Is my wire messed up or is it the spark plug? they both look fine to me but it wont snap on the plug...any help would be great

 

if u have doubts just replace it

 

is it normal to be loose like that though? it kinda just slides off with ease

 

Shouldn't be that loose. Sparkplugs.com has stock NGK plug wires $23 for a full set - no reason to bother with iffy plug wires.

The crimped metal contact at the end of the plug wire has probably expanded a bit so it doesn't clip onto the plug like it should. If it's worn to that point, you're due for a set of wires.

my plug wires are aftermarket, got em about a year ago. Do you think they could go bad that quick? or maybe someone at the shop damaged it? Whats the best set of aftermarket wires and how much do they go for and where can i get some?

 

Look down the boot and make sure the metal part didn't recess too far back.

you should read peoples answers . unless your running some advanced ignition setup these wires are fine.

 

Yeah, the stock NGK's are very well designed and work well. Not to mention they're dirt cheap .
