Ign parts do better when OE spec on many cars. What engine is in this? Did you replace the wires? Ideas: Wires mixed up? Some good looking wires get trashed just from removing them and require replacement. Plugs new out of box could have a bad one or two. If box or plug was dropped they can get hairline cracks and fail either in your possession or in handling before you got them! Many cars list the plug gap on a sticker underhood and I'd go by that if there's a discrepancy. It ran well before you started so it will again, T   Automotive Repair     Auto Body Repair and Refinishing     Heating or AC Issues     Electrical and Wiring     Brake Systems     Car Stereo Repair Advice     General Discussions     Car Making Funny Noises     Engine Fault Codes     Engine Troubles     Exhaust Systems     Steering and Suspension     Transmission Troubles     Tricks of the Trade Automotive World     General Discussions     Antique Car Talk     Car Shows and Events     The Bargin Bin     Motor Vehicle Inspection     Car Care Tips     Traffic Tickets     Gasoline, Motor Oils, Concept Cars and Engines     Auto Insurance, Financing, Leases, Warranties Truck Repair     General Discussions     Truck Engine Repair     Truck Suspension Repair Motorcycle Repair     General Discussions     Motorcycle Engine Repair CarJunky     Open Posting     Board FAQ's     New Board Suggestions
