Maintenance: Mopar Spark Plug Wires

After realizing that I was supposed to replace my wires along with my spark plugs, I finally ordered new OEM spark plug wires and installed them. It was so much easier to do this install. Since I already loosened the boots, they came off easily. The install took me no longer than five minutes to do. I felt like a pro mechanic today. lol

After the install, I test drove my SRT-4 to feel the difference. As soon as I turned my car on and pressed the throttle, I could already tell the difference. The startup was much smoother and quieter. It also accelerated much faster from idle to near red line.

*The main reason why I felt a huge difference was because I was supposed to replace the plugs and wires 10,000 miles ago. I'll be sure not to do that again!
