Thanks by replying Tony I bougth car with 50kmiles on it, now it has 57kmiles....i guess these are original SP wires I'll do what you say at night too to see what happens or do you recommend me to replace SP wires? Does anyone has the part number of the "L" shaped piece of plastic wire separator? 00 Mystique LS V6 ATX 57K miles K&N air filter TH Fix B&M 70268 Atx cooler

Hi again Tony, did it last night with hood open and semi open...and didn't notice any spark or arching from wires....could be that arching is only present when hood is very hot or something like that? 00 Mystique LS V6 ATX 57K miles K&N air filter TH Fix B&M 70268 Atx cooler
