What are you asking? Are you asking if you should change them to another kind or change them to Magnacor?

I've been using Magnacor wires for years without problems. If you aren't having any ignition problem, don't worry about it.

If it ain't broke don't break it. If you aren't having ignition problems, there is no reason to change anything.

If you are having problems, then that's another ball of wax.

The car stalls a lot and when im in 2nd. coming up to a light and push the clutch in the car wants to stall if I dont put it in nertual.But if I'm at a light (not moving) and put it in 2nd. the car is fine,so im guessing that the plugs are bad.

Does the car ONLY want to stall when you push the clutch in (so the car only tries to stall with the clutch in, the clutch out in neutral it's fine)?

If so, you should check the clutch switch.

KDR just put a clutch in ACT S/S w/ a ACT light flywheel. Sometimes the vac just jumps up and wants to stall.It seems like the harder I drive it the better it run's, maybe the injectores are cloged.
But mostly it stalls when I'm rolling up to a light push the cluch in to put it in N and it dies, if I dont put it in N quickly.

Or maybe it's a sign of a worn apex seal.

definitely doesn't sound like a plug problem... if it was, wouldn't it happen in ANY gear when you push the clutch down not just second? i'm with majik on this one... you need to see if it does it in ALL gears or just second before you start blaming anything... but then again, maybe you already did that and i'm just missing something.

if you think it might be the injectors, i HIGLY recommend running a bottle of STP drygas through with some high octane gas... but since it only seems to happen with the gear engaged... it sounds more like a clutch or transmission problem than anything (i don't know rotaries that well, but ever car i've owned has had clutches and such... take my word for whatever you want).

Thanks for the help everyone Im going to change the plugs,And run the stp through dry gas.and also try to see if it stalls in 3rd, or 4th. it's very weird that the car doesnt to it when im at a stop.only when im moving.
