I just replaced my spark plug wires with new NGK High Performance wires (the 04T ones). I had a bit of difficulty getting the #4 wire on but everything seems to be in place and connected snugly. I now have a bit of a rough idle and some hesitation, particularly on the low end. Cruising is generally okay, and the high-rev acceleration seems to be alright as well. It's just at idle I have an occasional miss and then when I try to take off from standing it hesitates. I have re-checked the wires to make sure they are indeed connected properly. So now what? As I said in the topic description, I never had this happen before when changing wires, plugs, or even a rotor or distributor. Is this something that's particular with NGK's? Is there some type of adjustment I have to make with them? Any help will be appreciated. If things don't work out. I'm going back to my cheap-ass Advance generic wires and putting these up for sale. Thanks. kindasad.gif

I know it's a stretch, but it's such a stretch that it comes full-circle as being the likely culprit: check to make sure you put them on the dizzy in the correct order. Take them all off and put them all back in again. I'd put down money that you've got two mixed up.
