FAQs

What is the main function of ignition leads?

Ignition leads, also known as spark plug wires, transmit high-voltage electricity from the ignition coil to the spark plugs, enabling them to ignite the air-fuel mixture in the engine cylinders.

How often should I replace my ignition leads?

It is generally recommended to check the condition of your ignition leads at regular intervals and consider replacing them every 40,000-60,000 miles, or sooner if symptoms of failure appear.

What are common signs of faulty ignition leads?

Common signs include rough engine running, misfires, loss of power, increased fuel consumption, difficulty starting, and potential emissions test failures.

What does 'Copper Core Cable' mean?

Copper core cable indicates that the central conductor of the ignition lead is made of copper, which is known for its excellent electrical conductivity, ensuring efficient voltage transfer.

Are these leads compatible with all vehicles?

No, this specific set (Intermotor 73501) is designed for particular vehicle applications. Always confirm compatibility with your vehicle's specifications before purchasing.

What is the cable diameter of these leads?

The cable diameter for this set is 7mm.

What types of connectors are used?

This set features M4 coupling for spark cable fitment and DIN coupling for distributor cap and coil fitment.

Troubleshooting

Engine misfiring or running rough after installation.

Double-check that each lead is securely connected to the correct spark plug and coil/distributor terminal. Ensure no leads are crossed.

Difficulty connecting leads to spark plugs or coil.

Verify that the correct lead is being used for the intended position. Ensure the boot is aligned properly before applying firm pressure.

Check Engine Light illuminates.

While unlikely to be directly caused by new leads if installed correctly, re-check connections. If the issue persists, it may indicate a separate problem with spark plugs, coils, or other engine components.
