does spark plug wires makes a difference in driving? i replaced the ngk blue wires today, and the car seems to response slowly, but dunno if thats from the wires or my fuel.

thx

my stock wires arn't NGK, they are prestolite Z-16 LE-E. Oh, I lived in canada, so it might be different from the civic in the states.

The NGK i have on my Y7 are the blue ngk wires HE76.

thx

ppl with aftermarket wires... do you still have stock ignition? or at least MSD distributor and Blaster Coil? if not, thats why it seems slower. and i probably is cuz it doesn't need that much spark.

i noticed that the NGK blue wires start better in cold weather than stock. could it really be the wires or just something else?

thx
