Hi, i have a problem with spark plug wires
Ok first of all i have a 97 Accord LX (non-vtec)
I was driving on the freeway when i noticed my car was slacking and losing acceleration power. So i pull over and pop the hood. I found that one out of the four spark plug wire was loose, it was not connected. This had never happen to me before. So i took a look at the wire and i saw oil. Well..i did put the wire back in place and the car went back to normal. Well..after a bit of driving..the wirer loosen again...and if anyone know the problem to this..i would be grateful..thank you. |

do u remeber by any chance what cylinder it was ? Was it the second one from the driver's side ? you can just tighten it with some plyers. about the oil problem, if u are not mechanically inclined, screw it. you gotta take the whole head apart to have that fixed. yes i know 'cause i just did it today

check out magnecor's website for everything you ever wanted (or didn't want) to know about plug wires. i was checking it out yesterday and they talked about boots popping off the plugs and what causes it. i can't remember all the details though.

well i guess it's gonna be like a 4hr job. multiply that by 65-75 for the labor + 130 for the valve adjustament + 5 for the actual parts

The oil might just be from your valve cover gasket. have that checked before u pay to much money to not fix the prob. Dont know about the plug wire maybe the oil is on the boot and causing it to slip off.
