The $100 quote sounds stupid. Sorry, but it sounds like they messed up the search. Maybe a V8 and 8mm wires or something. $20 is a good price for 4 wires. If you plan on keeping your car then I recommend a code reader which you can get on eBay; OBDII code reader $25-$38 You might find cheaper with different numbers or an auction. Once you know the code you will know what is wrong and if you use a mechanic you will know if they are telling the truth. Poor spark, maybe a misfire so O2 sensor reads lean, engine runs rich... hard to say without a proper reading. From that link for the $50 wires: "Despite claims made by some wire set manufacturers; no wire set made will increase or add additional horsepower to your engine. Many people have told us that engine performance has increased after they fitted a wire set, however, in reality, performance only increased because the engine's potential power was previously restricted by faulty or warn out ignition wires." I like this guy.

Your car has one six inch wire and one two inch wire. That's it, no more. RockAuto has them listed from $6 to $44, the $44 set includes new boots for the other two plugs that don't have wires. The only way $100 would be possible is if that was for new coils and wires. |
