i just bought some accel 8.5mm wires for my 3.0 cl and my engine keeps rejecting them.i put my oem wires back in and they work fine. i have tried everything to try and get these wires to work....any suggestions or similar problems

shineynitelite

what have you done?, and how does your car reject them

do you have bosch platinum plugs? if so that is your problem.. many people on here have bought aftermarket wires :obx, accell, even nology, and alot of people have had the problem of them popping off with the bosch platinum plugs. i just got rid of the wires.

devildogUSMC

well i installed them and the car starts up fine but when i start to drive it the engine stalls and i pull over and check under the hood and the wires are detached from the spark plug

i do have bosch plugs but they arent the platinum one they are just the regular cheap bosch super

That's your problem, get some ngk iridiums, and you'll be fine. Bosch suck

devildogUSMC

so the spark plugs are the problem then?

shineynitelite

yeah... get ngk v-powers if your tight on a budget

devildogUSMC

has this worked for you? cause i dont wana spend 60 bucks on spark plugs then the be back at the same problem

devildogUSMC

im just wondering why the oem wires work fine with the bosch and the accel wires wouldnt?

shineynitelite

ngk 6097 i think.. go buy them... stop posting and GO GET THEM


(check the number tho )

i guess ill try the ngk v power since you said they would work. and their 3 bucks a pop

i think the bosch plugs are just alittle smaller at the tip or shorter. or something. almost everyone who put h/p wires on bosch plugs have had the same problem.. its really embarrasing. i had to zip tie my wires down to keep them on till i got home... it sucked.
