try to get oem when you replace the wires, always has best spark even though they cost a little more. and way more reliable

I've seen a clogged fuel filter cause a code 16 (fuel injector). OBD0 aren't very accurate to pin point the problem. Could be some type of fuel delivery problem. Just a thought though.
