It is easy to overlook something as simple as plugs and wires. Especially if they were recently replaced. An unemployed friend of mine was limping around in his van wasting a ton of gas. It would accelerate poorly, but it would do 65mph eventually. Popped the hood and it was obvious that at least two of the six plug wires were bad.
I had kept the set of 'brand new' wires that I had to replace on my burb. He was able to replace all of his wires with pieces from my set and now it runs just fine.
btw anybody seen these plug wire splicers from
NGK?
