what kind of wires are you using? I would highly suggest using stock wires if you are not already .....

i had this problem when trying to use some cheap pep boys wires on my old toyota celica. use oem wires or ngk

also i guess you could make sure the plug itself is in good shape

i smashes the metal that goes around the spark plug itself so it would hold tighter. new plugs and don't know what kind of wires. what are good ones to get for a good price and were if i decide to replace them.

make sure the plug wires have a hole so that no pressure builds up and pop the wire as you're experiencing... if they don't make one using a needle or something sharp
