Worried about Nology wire install, clarification please - Honda Prelude Forum

Padge · 04-15-2002, 02:57 PM

I just installed the nology hotwires in about 5 minutes... but I am left unsure about some parts of the finished installation. First off the spark plug caps do not snap into place like the OEM ones, is this ok? Secondly, there are four spark plug wires, then a fifth. This fifth wire is plugged into the distributor(not completely sure if that is what it is), but it doesnt go in tightly or snap, is this ok? It feels like it can easily pop out. Did anyone else have these problems? Should i worry...i dont really know if this is ok. Help me if you can. Thanks alot..

this fifth wire, is it the one that goes to the ignition coil?

if it is, my OEM one doesnt snap or go too far into the distributor either and i've never had any problems with it coming loose

They all snap on for me. I've had mine for a few years no problems.

I believe my spark plug boots snapped into place as well. It wasn't a very loud snap but a little pop.

As for the coil, mine snaps in both the coil and the distributor cap. When you first put the coil wire on they seem to simply slide on, but if you put more force on it, both ends snap into place.

Don't be afraid to put your weight behind it.

Why did you waste money on Nology wires? OEM wires or even NGK or MSD would have been sufficient.

if they are loose, just take some pliers and tighten them closer together, then they will snap in,
