I am on my 3rd set in 2 months and it seems like the insulation breaks down and blue "flashing" appears near the boot. Could this be another issue?? (The coil pack tested ok)   thom mathie (Muskyman) Senior Member Username: Muskyman Post Number: 369 Registered: 11-2002 Posted on Tuesday, October 14, 2003 - 05:21 pm:    OEM wires suck! you need but if they all are doing it you may have your plugs gapped to wide   Peter J Blatt (Peteb) Senior Member Username: Peteb Post Number: 263 Registered: 10-2002 Posted on Tuesday, October 14, 2003 - 09:08 pm:    Have you replaced your plugs? if you have not, that is most likely your issue, I have over 100k on the origional wires and are ok, still.
