Any reason there is a lightning storm going on under my hood? I've done tons of research on inductive crossfire in many forums dealing with it. When damp out I gained a misfire with less than six months on a set of Taylor Hi Energy wires. All grounds a good, tried a coil, cheap coil wire, rerouted wires three times back to ford recomendation and covered the coil wire. I can see if I had a bad wire but yanked them all with the plugs and the issuse isn't there.


The WHOLE coil wire arcs! Not just in one spot? I even called Taylor and stumped the tech. Since covering the coil wire misfire is gone. Just seems odd that this seems to be a ford thing. I've ran Taylor wires on my Chevys for years, I'm on a budget so the $85 for MSD's is really hard to cough up right now.

 

cheap *** wires you have been riped off $10 says the wires are a counterfeit product from china and not what was in the box when it left the factory solution only buy oem or aftermarket wires from a local dealer or performance shop that way if it isnt what you paid for getting your money back isn't impossible and also send those wires to the company that makes them they can use them to determine if it is a defect in their materials or someone replacing the contents of their boxes with counterfits during transit to the dealers
good luck and dont get bit by that coil it can kill you

 

Not sure how to word this. How about, those MSD Superconductor's last a loooong time! That level quality of Taylor are good for spares in an emergency. I believe their Thunderbolts are reasonably priced & acceptable quality. You want low resistance & the better insulation. It's yer wires.

 

I have Autolite wires on my 300... they work haha haven't seen an issue

 

Like I've said Taylor does make a great product and never have had an issue with them. For the price of OEM's I'd rather pop the extra for a better product. Once I get the ECU paid off I'll get the MSD's. One of the main reason I'm going with an aftermarket set is I have a set of headers ready to put on.

Thanks for the input guys.

 

MSD or Accel spiral cores, both good wires, you could also go with Ford Motorsport spiral core wires, all domestic as far as I know, and last a while.

 

I thought about going with the ford racing wires but saw that some guys on mustang forums had a short life span with them but they were running MSD boxes compared to my stock setup.

If someone can chime in with there opion on the ford racing wires...

 

I'd trust Ford Motorsport "anything". Never ran them or the Racing 9's. But I can say MSD Superconductors are the best wire's I "have" run. I believe "spiral core anything" is a quantum step up from the standard huddled masses of wires. So at least get into some spiral.

As far a resiliently, think of a straight wire being flexed, as opposed to a wire in a coiled or spring configuration being flexed. One will stress, the other one won't. Simple physics.

 

ive got borg warner wires, not too pricey but work great

 

ok I HAVE to get wires... It's getting stupid! missfire sometimes missfire no times!!! I'm gonna have to go with Ford Racing wires due to the fact that money is tight. I noticed that some people have used wires for lightnings because they fit better. My Taylors are stupid long and that may be one of the reasons they a inductivly crossfiring. Or would I be better off buying a custom fit set.

Anyone use any kind of nifty looms or seperators? I'm going to remove the throttle body this time so I know that the wires are away from everything and seperated.
