FAQs

When should I replace my ignition leads?

It is generally recommended to check your ignition leads regularly and consider replacing them every 40,000-60,000 miles, or sooner if you notice symptoms like rough running, misfires, or reduced fuel economy.

What are the symptoms of faulty ignition leads?

Common symptoms include a rough-running engine, hesitation during acceleration, reduced power, increased fuel consumption, and potentially failed emissions tests.

How do I identify the correct lead for each spark plug?

Leads are typically distinguished by their length. It's best to replace them one at a time, or lay out the new set and match them to the original positions based on length and where they connect (spark plug and coil).

Are these leads compatible with all vehicles?

No, these leads have specific coupling types (SAE for spark cables, DIN for distributor cap and coil) and cable lengths. You must verify compatibility with your vehicle's specifications before purchase. Cross-reference part numbers if possible.

What does 'Wire Wound Cable' construction mean?

Wire Wound Cable construction refers to the internal resistance wire used within the cable core. This design helps to suppress electromagnetic interference (EMI) while effectively conducting high-tension voltage.

What is the significance of the different cable lengths?

Vehicles have different engine layouts. The varying cable lengths ensure that each lead can reach its designated spark plug and the ignition coil without being too tight or excessively long, which could interfere with other engine components.

Troubleshooting

Engine misfires or runs rough after installation.

Ensure all leads are securely connected to the correct spark plug and coil terminals. Double-check the firing order for your specific vehicle. Verify that the leads are not touching hot engine components.

Poor acceleration or loss of power.

Confirm that the correct length leads are installed in their designated positions. Check for any damage to the leads that may have occurred during installation. Ensure the spark plug gap is set correctly.

Check Engine Light is on.

A misfire code might be triggered. Re-inspect all connections. If the problem persists, consult a mechanic to rule out other ignition system components or fuel delivery issues.

Leads feel loose on terminals.

Ensure the boots are fully seated. If the terminals appear damaged or corroded, they may need replacement. Make sure you are using the correct coupling type (SAE/DIN) for your vehicle's components.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Verify Compatibility: Before installation, confirm that the Intermotor 73151 set is compatible with your vehicle's make, model, and year. Check the part number against your vehicle's original specifications or consult a parts catalog.
  2. Identify Leads: Lay out the new leads and identify each one based on its length and connection point. Match them to the corresponding spark plug and ignition coil terminal.
  3. Remove Old Leads: Carefully disconnect and remove the old ignition leads one by one to avoid mixing them up.
  4. Install New Leads: Connect the new leads to their respective terminals, ensuring a firm, secure click. Start with the longest lead or the one closest to the coil.

Compatibility:

  • Spark Cable Fitment: Coupling Type SAE
  • Distributor Cap Fitment: Coupling Type DIN
  • Coil Fitment: Coupling Type DIN

Care:

  • Inspection: Periodically inspect ignition leads for signs of damage such as cracks, burns, or fraying. Also, check that the connectors are clean and secure.
  • Cleaning: If leads are dirty, clean them gently with a damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could damage the insulation.
  • Replacement: Consider replacing ignition leads as part of routine maintenance, typically every 40,000-60,000 miles, or sooner if any signs of wear or performance issues are observed.
