a wire arching to the exhaust? What does that mean?

Re: p0300 and p0420

means spark is jumping from a burnt spot on one of the wires and arcing over to a manifold.

Re: p0300 and p0420

ok thanks guys, looks like i'm going to be changing out my plugs/wires tomorrow. I was told that I could change them through my wheel well. Do I just take off the plastic part?

Re: p0300 and p0420

ya, it comes out somehow, no clue how tho. they shouldnt be that hard to get to from the top though.

Re: p0300 and p0420

wait you have log manifolds dont you?

Re: p0300 and p0420

Yea lol, you see how long my arms are. I'm hoping I'll be able to get them done pretty quickly. Im debating on whether I should order my stuff online and just wait for it and let my car misfire or go ahead and get the crappy wires from a local auto parts store

Re: p0300 and p0420

and ya since it's a 99, i have log manifolds

[v6mOtOrhEAdftOp]

Re: p0300 and p0420

so seeing as I have log manifolds, will I be able to get them through my wheel well?

Re: p0300 and p0420

you should. either way it'll still be a bit of a hand jammer.

Re: p0300 and p0420

ya, thanks. i'm use to it by now lol. Wish me luck!!!

Re: p0300 and p0420

lol, it shouldnt be too hard as long as you have the tools to do it.

Re: p0300 and p0420

well i have everything but jack stands (gonna grab some from my g/f if I have to get under it tomorrow). I hope that this will not be the case... I may go ahead and just take the wheel well out tonight, seeing as I have nothing better to do (just read 30 pages from my haynes manual lol)
