Question about spark plug wires
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.

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.

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 ?
