Spark Plug wires pop out
Let me give a short history before I ask my question..
I just changed my Oil myself. I drive the car 1/2 mile away and hear a weird sound. I immediately pull over shut car down. I pop the hood and find that a couple of my spark plug wires are out and one of my spark plugs are missing. I replace the spark plug and tighten up the rest. All is fine for about 50 miles. Now the spark plug wires keep popping out.
As much as I dont think the oil change has an affect, I did use a different brand that the autoparts store recommended. It is some japanese company. Could this be????
Does anyone know the torque value the spark plugs need to be tightened???
Does anyone have any idea what this could be???
Thanks in advanced

the wires popped out on me when i changed to Bosch plugs and i have these "wires", put the stock wires back on and didnt pop out then i changed the wires to NGK and everything just sat fine. Accels worked fine on my teg tho, as far as torque value: V6-16 ft/lbs, I4-13 ft/lbs.
