I just realized my spark plug wires were arching when my brother inlaw suggested checking for small arching or sparks by the plugs in the Dark. Sure enough I had at least two bad wires arching.

EDITED for "posting painfully wrong information" haha

That's great, but what do those cars/engines have to do with ours?


The issue of bad Magnecors has been almost NIL/none with our platform.

The 2.5L Engine, Am I wrong?

It's just what I experienced on my car last night and found this info today.

The probe engine is made by mazda

My bad...
Will call it a early morning with no coffee as I back out of the room.

Either way my spark plug wires were arching... no else has experienced this?

Only complaints about the Magnecores I can recall - The price.

Not really a valid complaint either as they can be hand for not much more than Ford factory wires - and you're getting a better wire.

how about the wet noodle connectors? Magnacores are a PITA to get onto the spark plugs. Thought I heard others complain about it.... or I might have just gotten a bastard set.

I've had my Magnecor wires for 4+ years without any issues. That includes R&Ring them countless times. Well over 30 times easily.

They still work flawlessly.

So the boots on yours don't compress when you're pushing them over the spark plugs? My boots are very soft... even trying to snap them on a plug that I'm holding is difficult. And the boots are greased. I might just have an anomaly then.
