Title: Plug Wires
Post by: EN318isPDX on February 03, 2008, 01:59:17 PM

I bought brand new Bosch wires and didn't think about it before i pulled them off but there are 3 different lengths. I assume the longest one is for 1 but I'm unsure of which other cylinder is going to take the other long wire

Number one and two should be the longest if I remember right. I have a COP now so can't look at mine. I do remember one of the plug wires looped around inside the plastic bracket. It threw me off one time when I had all of em out for a diagnostic only to put em back in wrong and have the car run worse!
