Noob Spark Plug Wire Question

[skilletrx]

Hello guys,

So I'm trying to replace my spark plug wires and I just received my order today. I thought the NGK spark plug wire kit (Stock #5659, Part# RC-ZE76) would come with 4 spark plug wires. It only came with two wires, with the longer wire marked as "1" and the shorter wire marked as "3".

- Shouldn't the kit replace all 4 wires for my 4 cylinder vehicle?
- If it doesn't, how do I obtain the wires marked "2" and "4"?

Thanks in advance.

we have 2 wires. you're fine

seriously-

the other 2 are the boots u dont need to replace them

the other two are 'coil-on-plug' style

each coil drives two cylinder, 2/3 and 4/1....plugs 3 and 1 are driven by means of leads from the coil to the plug

thanks man, so just out of curiousity, what makes a boot different from a wire in that it doesnt need replacing?

np bro

the boot is what hooks up to the spark plug, its detatchable from both the coils and the wires (leads)...so all four cylinders have boots, two of which have coils directly on top of them and two of which have wires from the coils to the boots

the wires aren't really any different than having the coil right on top of the boot....just the fact that one coil can't cover the phyisical top of both boots (of our coils at least) is why theres two extra wires (thumb)
