yesterday i tried replacing my old SP wires with new magnecor ones because someone said a bad wire could be the reason for my fuel cut problem... well i replaced them, turned the car on and it ran like absolute SH*T. it was sputtering, misfiring, just crap... so i thought "maybe i need to install the actual magnecor spark plugs along with them for this to work" (which i wasnt able to do because i couldnt find my socket extension).... feeling a little dissapointed that i couldnt use my new magnecor wires, i proceded to put the old wires back in... i put them in the same way they were in before, the longest wire was on the way left side, the shortest wire was on the way right side. i turned the car on again... SAME problem, it ran the exact same and i KNOW i have the wires in correctly.
