HI everyone, I'm a newbie. I just received replacement OEM ignition wires for my '99 Honda Accord EX-L V6 3.0L. I went with OEM wires because forums such as this and videos online seem to recommend them for superior quality, no-hassle installation (i.e., clips and the entire assembly as part of the purchase price) which seemed like a no-brainer. I expected the wire assembly to come with clips, etc but the ones I got were just the wires with a rubberband holding them together. Also, the ignition set doesn't come with the 7th coil wire, why? It seems like I am spending more and more but not getting what I expect. Are OEM wires supposed to come with the full assembly? And how do I get the OEM coil wire?

Here are the part numbers I ordered for this make/model:

32722-P8A-405 Front
32720-P8A-405 Rear

BACKGROUND:
I have to tune up the car because it misfires on Cylinder 2 and mechanic said that distributor cap/rotor/ignition wires/spark plugs tune up will be $600...and that seemed high for something easy to do yourself. Thanks every one!

 

I've never ordered OEM before, so I had to go look. But yes, you are right , they list the wires out separately. OEM center wire is https://www.hondapartsnow.com/genuin...3-p8a-a01.html

For reference, typically when purchased at a parts store, most come as a set of wires, not individually.

I guess Honda just sells them differently. Just use the old wire until the new one comes in.

Sounds like you still need a cap and rotor as well. And spark plugs.

 

Do you know if the OEM should come with the clips? For the back, there should a vertical clip, for the front its a horizontal rail.

 

It depends on how you ordered the parts.
In your case you can order the wires individually, or in a set, or there was a time you could get the set and the clips.
If you look at the parts diagram you received reference no 18 and 19 for just the cylinder wires.

What you want is reference no 7 and 8. But 7 and 8 are no longer available.
It appears all the parts to create reference no 8 kit are still available, but for reference No 7 the vertical 'C' clamp, reference no 13, is no longer available.
32722-P8A-405 is what you receive rather than 32722-P8A-A02, and 32720-P8A-405 instead of 3720-P8A-A02

Unless your clips are damaged or missing, just clean up the old ones and reuse them.
