Hello,
Replaced the spark plug wires recently in the 90 Sundance, then started realising a decrease in performance. The 1st week I saw about a 2.5 mpg drop, then the next week another 2-2.5 mpg drop; when it dipped below 20 during this 3rd week I knew I had to figure out what was up.
Fortunantly for me I need to clean the distributor cap and rotor every month, because that is where I went 1st. As I was inspecting the wire prongs, where they extend in the distributor cap, I noticed the #3 cylinder wire prongs where barely visable. I backed up the boot and pushed the wire in to hear it click and lock...whooly fark-narkles! I have been driving on 3 cylinder the whole time. There is absolutely no discernable wear on thos wire prongs!!!
I feel fortunant and am quite happy that I am stupid enough to install a set of wires so poorly.
