• Engine hesitation during acceleration
• Visible cracking, wear, or heat damage on existing wires

Installation Notes

Match each wire to the correct cylinder routing before removal, and transfer one lead at a time to preserve firing order. Inspect plug boots, distributor cap terminals, and coil connections during service, and confirm the routing clears hot or moving engine components. Verify vehicle application by year, make, and model before installation.
