I keep thinking I have these wires proberly seated yet they keep coming off.

One has yet to come off at all in 400 miles, so I know its possible, but the other 3 are driving me crazy!

Any suggestions?

Cheers,

Chris

weld them on.

Now we are getting somewhere!

Stay where? On plug or on coils?

Only on plugs.....I swear Ive read every thread on this and I know you just have to push very hard......I just thought of something....I wonder if I have the wires too tightly in the wire looms...maybe they need more play by the plugs?

Solder them on. That, or duct tape.

I siliconed mine in. Just use RTV on the boot and leave it to dry.

RTV???
Don't you mean di-electric grease. I wouldn't want RTV falling into my cylinder 's from doing that.

As long as your plugs are present, your cylinders are sealed. I would be more worried about RTV acting as a resistor, if it got between the plug and wire connecters.

Sounds like the boot needs to be pushed up away from the end of the wire just a bit. If the distance from boot to end-of-wire is too short you compress the rubber when you click it in place, and compressed rubber acts like a spring. Give it vibration, temp changes, whatever... it'll spring back off.

Yes if they are falling off they were not on all the way.

I had to use automotive dialectric (sp) grease on the ends and boots to get them to click on and stay. Permatex makes a good grease.

Hey Nick ;)

I sorta have a hard time pushing a couple of mine on too. I cannot always get them to click. But nevertheless I push as hard as I can and I do not notice anyy effect on performance, I think the spark still gets there fine.

FYI - The spark doesn't travel down the wire. It's created at the open end of the spark plug. :p
