I have a 97 Honda Civic HX 5 speed. My spark plug wires are in good condition and i don't want to replace them but they look pretty dirty. i've seen spoark plug wires covered with the same fire retardent plastic used in engines for regular wiring harnesses. i use the car daily. can i do this and it be safe?

 

yes. i think you can safely use corrigated plastic. where you live?

 

Won't hurt. Why don't you just clean them up first?

 

I tried that too. cleaning just didn't cut it for me. i used that plastic and i haven't had any problems yet. i only did that about two weeks ago so we'll see.

 

thanks perfectionist, i'm with Raven 69 though. I tried and they still look terrible. i hate replacing them so often just cause they look nasty. any other ideas? by the way, do you recommend anything special to clean them??

 

don't know about cleaning them but i used the wire loom covers and they work fine. i even have them tied together using the plastic tie wraps for wires. i've had it like that for about 6 months and i haven't had any problems at all. i covered all the wires and vacuum hoses in my engine bay with blue wire loom and i haven't had any problems.

 

orange GO-JO

 

Anyone out there know where to get wire loom cover big enough for water hoses and the other bigger hoses in the engine bay?
