So i upgraded my ignition to complete MSD (control box, dist., wires, cap), but for now I have only the wires installed...

Before, when I launched my car, the plugs would pop out over the spark plugs themselves...

tonite, when I floored it on the onramp, I had my wire cover on, so the wire disconnected at the distributor! wtf! I immediately threw a signal, was firing only 3 signals with no vtec lol.

Any idea as to why they keep coming out They were put on tightly, too

 

bump they just popped out again somehow...arg

 

damn... dont use em if they keep givin you problems.

 

nothing fits like oem, ngk blues,or k.e.m. wires

 

An old race car trick, zip ties are your friend!

 

MSD's are well known for this prob, every time mine do it i send em back for new ones. free of charge, they are good about that

 

I had a similar problem with my MSD wires popping out of the sparkplug too. I later realized it was because the sparkplug was not properly installed so at Vtec, the car would bog because I was only running 3 cylinders.

 

explaing the zip tie trick???
how does that keep the plug from coming off

 

bump

yes do explain that zip tie trick...and where should I send em to if I bought em from a shop?

 

See the picture, small black zip ties around the boots attached to the distributor cap. Plug the wires in, push the boots on, strap a zip tie around the boot, cinch it down and trim the tail off. Never a problem again!

 

Do MSD plug wires still have this problem? Or did they correct it?

 

i never had that problem with my plugs

ide like to know also cause i want a set of red wires and the msd's seemed like the best bang for buck red wires ...any other erd wires that are good,and dont pop off the plug or dist...thanks..

 

the reason they pop back off the plug is cause there is a leak in compression in it forcing them off this happened to mine make sure your plugs are down to 19ft lbs

 

no, people complain they pop off the distributor, not the head.

 

manacor execpt for when they get stolen
