I had the spark plugs replaced and used old wires, which were replaced only one year ago already. when I recently had a water problem, radiator went bad, 3 of the spark plugs popped up and when I tried to pull the wires, the electrical part inside came apart. Car is driving but misfiring and sounding awful. should I just replace the wires and see if that solves it? It was dying at a stop and idle was erratic prior to this. Could it be the spark plug wires were put in the wrong place?
Thank you

Hi there,

If the metal clip on the end of the lead has come off, replace all your leads as a set. This should fix your problem
