Driving my D1 today it abruptly starting idling rough and I could tell it was missing on acceleration.
I popped open the hood in the dark to see if I had a bad plug wire. Sure enough I could see current leaking on a couple wires on the driver side up and down the wires. Then I looked at the passenger side, All 4 were arcing at the spark plug boot. I’ve never seen this on any other car I have owned over the years. Only on rare occasions would I even see more than one.
I did notice I was down about 2 mpg at the last fill up and imagine they may have been starting to fail.
Is it to be expected multiple wires would fail at the same time or is it possible something with the coil pack is sending too much current.?
I will admit they are typical Borg Warner wires you would buy at Autozone. I have a high quality set on the shelf I will swap in this weekend, regardless.
