Problem with my ignition wires - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

The sucker over my #4 pops halfway out every time I turn my car on! Now, I'm not running on three cyllinders (trust me, I'd notice it) but... I don't understand what could it be? True, I just changed my plugs and wires, the Nissan ones never did it. Anyone?<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/confused.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='???'>

Hrmmm......

Could be a few things.

Are these aftermarket wires?

Take out the plug in #4 and replace it. Or just tighten it, I wouldnt imagine it would be leaking but you never know.

Pull the plug out and look to see if something is blocking the hole to where it snaps into the sprak plug. Try to cheack that and clean it in some way.

All else fails make sure there is no oil or anything now in the plug hole. Take a towel and clean the hole where the wires would go down.

Try these then come back if they dont work <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>
