You have it right - it's the wires that go from the distributor cap to the spark plugs and to the coil.
that's feasible to get undesirable cord or undesirable spark plugs or the incorrect spark plugs. it is not any longer that easy by way of, that's extra straight forward to get the incorrect spark plugs or mixture up the spark plug wires. yet you could no longer omit cord purely one spark plug cord, and with the coil packs in step with cylinder you will relatively would desire to paintings to omit cord it. So i'm assuming which you have a Ford Explorer with a rotary distributor, and the two a 6 or 8 cylinder engine. tell your husband the undertaking and characteristic him recheck his paintings. Get out your proprietors handbook and determine you have the right spark plug on your motor vehicle. confirm that the spark plugs are ideal and securely outfitted, that the spark plug wires are securely outfitted, and that the wires are under pressure out to the right plug. consistent with what twelve months of ford you have this would desire to be quite undertaking-free to do yet you will would desire to understand the firing order. Get a restore handbook from the library or look it up by potential of potential of the internet regularly the firing order could have a diagram that coach how the spark plug cord run. If all seems so as or it quite is previous our ability then circulate to a outstanding storage or ford dealership. you do no longer decide for to force if avoidable, you could reason extra extreme injury. appropriate of success
The proper name for spark plug wires is: Ignition Wires. You're right, they are the leads that run from the distributor or ignition coil pack to the spark plugs. Some newer cars don't have ignition wires as such. A timed low voltage signal runs from small electrical wires directly to individual ignition coils which snap directly onto the spark plugs. Newer Toyota's are arranged like this.
