alright looked under hood last night my brand new taylor ovc wires are arcing. I was wondering for now if i could put some high temp gasket sealer on them? Until i have a break from school and have money to get new wires. Also when i get the new wires if i get the boots with them will this permanetly stop my arcing i mean i dont feel like buyin wires every other month. so what will stop them from arcing for good?

 

man this is weird i just went outside and took a look at my wires and they dont have a crack or burn or anything in them how can they be arcing?

 

I had a set of Taylors that were arcing straight down the side of the plug. I bought some AC Delco wires, changed them, same thing. I've yet to figure out what's causing it. I have a low RPM stumble as well that may or may not be related. I've changed the coil as well with no luck. Do you have a miss or are the wires just visibly arcing?

 

I also have the Taylor OVC setup on my car and have had a miss I have been trying to track down. The other day I looked under the hood at night and noticed that there were flashes of light coming from the areas where they all run together. I didn't see any actual "arcs", but I think that I should not be able to see light. I am thinking these wires might be the problem. They are brand new. Has anyone else had this problem with brand new wires?

 

The spark is looking for a ground.Might remove the heat shields.The more ribs the spark plug has,the less chance the spark will travel.(Split fire plugs=no ribs).Hope this helps.

 

The only heat shields anywhere near the wires are on my #5 and #6 cylinder plug boot(the factory 90* shield). I'm running NGK TR55s. speed76demon, I'm not trying to take over your thread or anything. I just noticed we have a similar issue which may be coming from the same item.

 

i also have a little miss/hesitation which is getting really annoying. I was just wondering if the 1200degree heat sleeves and new wires will solve the problem

 

Maybe, maybe not. It depends on if the wires are your problem or not. I thought mine was a burnt wire by the way it was acting, but the new wire didn't help.

 

i have a 94 z28 that had a bad problem misfiring, cutting out at 4k RPM, etc. it turned out to be the distributor and the ignition coil, which was arcing (so the wires werent getting a signal) while i was at it i put in plugs, wires, and rotor. i use all ac delco performance parts, and that cured my problem. i know that thats an expensive fix, but my problem was close to yours. Ive had no problems since. i know this might sound dumb, but make sure the wires are properly connected to the plugs, ive had arced wires in the past before for that reason alone. Good luck

 

I have a 1994 Trans Am that also has the arching problems, also noticed arching on the coil. No cracks or burns in wires, brand new ac delco wires, have yet to figure out the problem. Any help owuld be appreciated.

 

still no ideas
