Understanding Spark Plug Wire Resistance

[DrunkPenguin]

My cars running kinda rough so I'm tuning up everything. According to Chiltons the wire resistance should be 22K Ohms, but when I measure mine I get 6-7K Ohms. Is this good or bad? I am thinking its lower so it should be ok, but I don't fully understand OHMs law.


Thanks,


John

what kind of wires do you have?

and yes, the lower the wire resistance, the better.

Yazaki. I think I bought them thru Mitsu, but can't remember. Theyre about a year old.

I just got a set of Taylor 10.4mm wires that have a resistance of 40 ohms/ft. The lower resistance you have, the more spark that gets through to the plugs.
