Have you measured the voltage to know? or is this just a guess.
How old are the plug wires, whens the last time a tune-up was done?
maybe you need to do a tune-up, maybe the plug wires are bad....what kind of problems are you having?

Default plugs were done this summer

wires look great and worked fine till the other day.I'm measuring the ignition coil and primary wire voltages and ohms today to see what i get.I indicated that the spark wasn't strongg enough in my post because it was barely visible at the spark plug.Thanks will post results.
