How often do you rotate your spark plug wires?
>>
Every ten hundred miles otherwise your car's carbonation injection system can get rust on it.

No, I think you're wrong.

Never you idiot they are made of separate lengths to fit each plug.
>>
>>15836305
Think you're lying.
>>
>>15836305
>not rotating your spark plug wires
You should get longer ones so they all reach the furthest plug, you'll get uneven wear otherwise
>>
I usually do it around the same time I change my fender fluid. Makes it easy to remember.
>>
>spark plug wires
I'm not a boomer. My car doesn't even have those.

I know this a troll thread but spark plug wires don't wear out. They are way too big for electromigration to happen, and way too short for the distance to matter for unequal firing time.

NGK, MSD, etc. larger gauge plug wires are nothing but memes for idiots. They don't do anything. Its the insulation that wears out on plug wires, just replace them with OEM unless you like the pretty colors or you're getting played for a fool.

t. I was a teenager once

>coil on plug
There are cars less than 10 years old with traditional plug wires for sure, I own one. Hell I bet some shitboxes today aren't coil on plug. We aren't talking distributors bud.

>>15836330
Enjoy your uneven sparks bro

Well my one car has coil on plug, and the other doesn't because there is no such thing as electricity not traveling fast enough to matter in an automobile. Electrical current travels at like 186 miles a second bub.

You should be more concerned about the fact your car has one throttle body. Mine has six. That unequal airflow in your car is far worse dude. I'm surprised it can even idle
>>
>>15836346

>coil on plug

Nigga is u dumb, that was relevant maybe 20 years ago.
>>
>>15836358
No I have two cars and one has six coils...and plugs. Its really just an emission thing and squeezing out every last possible hp.

Doesn't your one throttle body make you unable to sleep at night tho? I mean, how cheap is your shitbox that you don't have six coils and six throttle bodies?
>>
The real question is do you activate your almonds first?
>>
>>15836248

Oh my! I didn't know I was supposed to do that! Thank goodness I browse 4chan.

Am I supposed to rotate them clockwise or counter clockwise? What do I torque them too?

I hope your chauffeur rotates his spark plug wires then

How often should I replace the spark plugs on my turbo diesel? I've been doing it every 25,000km, not sure if this is too soon, or not soon enough?
>>
>>15836456
I usually replace them when the yellow spark plug symbol pops up on the dash.
>>
>>15836471
>not replacing them when the gauge reaches 1/4

you don't wanna run out of sparks on a long drive
>>
>>15836471
>>15836489
Fuck now I'm really confused :(
>>
>>15836489
that's why I installed a second interference capacitor.

every time you fill up on gasoline

Thats cute.
>>
>>15836456
spark plugs changes should be done every time you fill the diesel injection fluid
>>
>>15836330


The boots can melt if they're too close to the headers such as on gmc/chevy vans. Saw it first hand. This is why ceramic boot wires exist.

NICE TROLLING FRIEND XDDDDD
>>
>>15836248
Cant beat NGK plugs and wires.
>tfw no shitpost here
>>
>>15839231
Well I don't drive poorly engineered (read: America) cars so I have no worries
>>
>>15836330
Resistance breaks down internally on carbon core wires. Spiral cores can be as you describe. Massive variations in resistance or overall path resistance being too high (including spark plug) can cause coil failures

How much hp boost does that turbo give you?
>>
>>15839934
200 amps
>>
>>15836325
Idiot.
Doesn't know the difference between fenders and quarter panels.
Fenders are sealed,you big dumb idiot.
>>
>>15836393
You go 180* opposite firing order, so if your firing order is 1-3-4-2, you rotate 1 to 4 and 3 to 2
>>
>>15840055
That works unless you have something like an 8 plug 2.3 Ford, then you just switch wires on the same cylinder/
>>
>>15836330
>i know this is a troll thread
>still responds

lol
>>
>>15836248

As often as I rotate the light bulbs.
>>
I just invented a new fad for stancefags: extremely long spark plug wires. Have them come out the cowl, run alongside the fender, go back in the grill, maybe a detour through the passenger compartment.

My firing order is 1234567, it's a Toytoa Camry 2.2
