WELL MY NIECE DRUG HER '03 6 CYL. MUSTANG IN HERE THE OTHER EVENING--BEEN SKIPPING FOR A WHILE.

PHILOSOPHY--DRIVE TILL IT WON'R GO NO MORE!

THEY SORTA FIGURED IT WAS THE PLUGS, UPON POPPING THE HOOD WHILE IT WAS RUNNING, IT SORTA APPEARED TO HAVE A LIGHT SHOW GOING ON UNDER THERE.

WE REPLACED THE PLUGS, AS IT HAD BEEN TIME TO DO SO LONG AGO.

BUT THE LIGHT SHOW WAS THREE DIFFERENT PLUG WIRES HAD RUBBED UNTIL THEY WERE ARCING ON THE METAL COMPONENTS THEY TOUCHED

THE ALL TIME AWARD WINNER WAS THE ONE THAT WAS RUBBING ON THE BRAKE BOOSTER---IT WAS GNAWED A THIRD OF THE WAY THRU!

THIS TIME WE INSTALLED NEW--LIFETIME WARRANTY WIRES AND I PURCHASED ABOUT FOUR FEET OF 3/8 FUEL LINE, CUT IT INTO CORRECT LENGTHS--SPLIT IT AND COVERED PARTS OF THE WIRES, WHERE ANY AND EVERY PLACE A WIRE DID OR COULD RUB.

THAT WAS THE FIX FOR HER---I WOULD TRY "NORMAL"--INEXPENSIVE" EZ STUFF THAT SHOULD BE SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE, BEFORE JUMPING TO CONCLUSIONS AND SPENDING UNNECESSARY $$$ RIGHT OFF THE BAT

YOUR TURN
