Might need to get new leads soon. The OEM ones have done abotu 150,000 k's. How long are they meant to last. Is there a visual sign when they start to wear out??
they die when they die really.
if your car starts and runs fine.
chances are so are your leads.
if it cracked or so, it would misfire.
sorry to hijack but thicker leads, say TOP GUN, would that be a benefit to performance or is it just a rice look. ie. red leads.. etc
as stated by destrukshn above your post, if their cracked it will misfire. thicker insulation prevents spark leak in the lead chamber and grounding through the head.
thicker leads do not necesarily mean a thicker core which isn't neccesarily beneficial anyway as it will require more oomf to transfer to the plugs
it is in the core design where the importance lies
another proven set of leads (i only know of one member on here thats used them in his setup) are the nology ones with built-in capacitor which actually improves spark. they are around $300 for a set. Problem with them is that dues to massive charge/discharge/current they go through they corrode easily and was proven to gain impedance within a year of prolonged use... making the price you pay not so worth it.
Just checked my longest spark plug lead last night and its got 1215 ohms of resistance.
Is that normal?? anyone else wanna confirm?
cylinder 1? opposite the intake side?
that's awesome
***EDIT***
damn nice avatar pic!!!!!!!!!!!!!
