Question:

Ignition Wire Fried? New Wire?

Hey guys,After diagnosing my car I found that my push to start was acting up. I went inside and found that the power wire had poor conductivity. Denying the car it's power. I released the wire and saw that it was completely black flaking off. That was the only issue though, everything else was in perfect condition. What kind of wire should I replace this with, is there wires that can support more of a charge? Or was it just wear and tear?As for now I just cut the wire in half and re stripped it, using the good part of the wire. Temporary fix until I purchase a better wire.Thanks

Answer:

all electrical wires are power wires. For an authoritative answer, we'd need to know which one you mean, and which make model it's on. However, to generalize, I'd be wondering why the wire was in that condition, fixing whatever it was, then replacing the wire with one with a slightly greater cross-sectional area (gauge).
