Hi, all.

On my wife's 1997 2.2 CL, I had the 60k mile service done and this included replacing the spark plugs. I noted that the wires seem a bit "worn", so I figured I would replace them. The dealer wanted like $130 for a set (includes installation), and this seemed way high to me!

Anyone have a good Internet source for these? These should be easy enough to replace myself, I would think! BTW, are any of the ones being sold on eBay sufficiently good enough? Looks like a set goes for around $25 plus shipping.

Also, should I replace any of the other wires while I am at it?

(Pardon the newbie questions here, btw.)

And, what is the difference between the 9.0mm and the 10.0mm wires that seem to be advertized on eBay? Shouldn't matter much, right?

I just replaced mine with a $95 Bosch set from Autozone. I'm sure you could find somebody selling wires on Ebay, but I would just go grab some yourself if they look worn to you. While your at it, you might as well change the dist. cap and rotor.

 

im sure you can get them at autozone cheap

 

i type slow........

 

Hmmm ... given that the eBay ones seem to go for $20 to $25, plus about $15 for shipping, and I don't absolutely have to have the wires today, do you think that the $95 from Autozone is worth it?

I know that I would be able to just do it today on the way home from work, but ... seems like a waste to spend an extra $50 if I can avoid it.

Thanks for the observation about the dist cap and rotor ... I should do those too, yes.

bosch = european quality
but im sure you can get some really cheap ones from autozone around $20 -$30

 

Ah! Good point ... thanks!

don't go too cheap.

cheap wires are worse than worn OEM wires.

 

definately dont go cheap, stick with NGK, they are the oem for honda spark plugs

plus free shipping

 

Thanks, folks! I will get OEM (NGK) ... they seem to be in the $60 range for the 2.2CL four cylinder engine.

holy crap your right, they are more expensive then the 6 cylinder. wierd. They are great wires, will last a looooooong time. They have a blue jacket on them though. i wish they were black.

 

Ive had NGK plugs and wires for my 1997 3.0 for a year now. And so far there hasnt been a problem.

 

Im looking into some too. I know accord is still ok, but does it matter if its for a dx or lx ? or does it have to be an ex model ?

also cap and rotor? 94-97 2.2 works for my 2.3 ?

 

anyone know?

 

i would say ex

 

guessing? lolz. thanks. worth a start. anyone else?

I really dont want to make another thread to clutter other topics, so anyone else?
