Default spark plug wires popping out?

i have msd spark plug wires and they keep popping out after i drive for a while or when i drive it hard... not all of them pop out.. only 2 of them... the 2 closest to the dis. cap. and they only pop out like half inche to a inche out.... when i push them in i hear a click. Also when i pull them out i have to use force so i know they are not loose.. does any one else have this problems... is there something wrong with my engine(d16z6greddyturbo).. .. when they pop out, my car around boggs down around 2 to 3k..

get rid of the msd wires, thats your problem, i have msd's and they do the same, so take them off and get yourself a set of stock wires.

wow mine did this the other day too. I was like what the hell is that from? My car started idling around 1600 rpms and bogging really bad when I shifted and stuff. I have stock wires too...

I have MSD wires and the ONLY time it has happened to me, was when I was 12.3:1 compression on stock p28 ecu...at idle sometimes cylinder 3 wire would pop out.

Never had a problem back to stock though, I love these wires

I had bad experiences with nology. I hate them. NGK is the way for me. With the nology wire I was changing spark plugs once a month. With the NGK wire I had no problems.

I have a problem with the wires popping off the cap. What other wires would be ok to use? Can I use stock wires with the MSD Digital 6?

NGK or OEM....if they're good enough for a 9 second car, they're good enough for you.
