Sparkplug wires
When putting new sparkplug wires on, is good to get the top grade at napa or get the Honda wires?

Re: Sparkplug wires
IMO, a wire is a wire. Granted some are more expensive, and are better reliability-wise. But to tell you the truth, I've never personally run across a misfiring situation, where the brand of wires mattered. Plugs yes, I have seen cars that hated Bosch plugs, but wires, no. I'd go with whatever is cheaper. If you are one of htose people that would rather pay more, for your own peace of mind or whatever, then get what you want. But I've tossed in $25 wires into cars and had them run just fine for many tens of thousands of miles.

Re: Sparkplug wires
Igovert is right wire is wire, but connectors and unsulation are different. Wires with bad insulation will leak current so you will need more energy=gasoline to run your car. Connectors will corrode and you will need more energy=gasoline to overcome the resistance.
That is why the prices for wires vary so much. I personaly preffer dealer wires even though I hate to pay them that much!!!
