OEM wires
I'm going back to OEM wires...
for some reason, my Magnacore wires didn't really give me a tight fit and I had a few issues with loose connections.
any body have a use set in good condition?
or have the part number ?

after letting the car cool down..
it took me about 30 mins to take everything apart (air boxes and plug wiring boxes) and remove and replace the magnacors with the OEM wires Erick sent me.
Erick, we I had one casualty in my battle to get him to let go of the engine
I must say.. that the magnacors in my case, were very easily to remove.
The OEM are much more tougher to remove once they snap on tightl
the verdict:
as I anticipated, I was not getting the right connection from a few of the wires and the car was not performing to optimum specs.
The start up is much smoother, no more slight shaking at a stop light and the response has improved. The rpm pick up is a bit more even now. Before it was like On/Off switch.
before going back to the OEM cables, I would manually adjust my magnacors on a weekly basis, to ensure a few cables were making good contact.
I probably did not install the magnacors correctly and they were not the right solution for me.
