God damn it, plug wire ripped out

[MR 325]

The wire pulled out of the end piece, can this be fixed?

I wonder if they were crimped? Maybe you can just stick a screwdriver into the boot to "open up" the crimp, then slip the wire back in and re-crimp. I'm not really sure... just throwing out an idea.

that can be fixed. I believe bav auto sells the little connectors. I ripped my coil wire off. just crimped on a new connector. I think it is $2.xx or somthing insignificant.

1) Dont buy cheap wires
2) Dont pull them off the sparkplugs by the wires.
3) Never have problem again.



It could be fixed, but I wouldnt bother. Buy a new set of good wires.
Good Luck.

They're brand new IE wires

A little super glue and duct tape fixes anything.

Cheap wires. Maybe not in price, but quality.
Send them back, or try and get them replaced. Unlikely....

Isn't that common sense?

[parkerbink]

That blows, sorry

[UNHCLL]

Aparently not... :p

The metal piece that clips to the spark plug can be pulled out. Then just open up the crimped end and crimp it back onto the wire. That can be atleast a temporary fix if you plan to get better wires.

And as stated before, don't pull them off by the wires.

I'd feel sorry for someone who ripped a M42 plug wire. It would be so hard to do that you would probably have to be brain dead to do it.

I did the EXACT same thing.. pissed me off too! All i did was strip the casing down a little bit, pulled off the rubber boot part, and stuck the wire back in the hole.. electrical taped it good, and she started right up :D good luck with it bro! and next time, grab the boot and not the wire lol we've both learned the hard way now... Image the kinda shit my teacher gave me when i told him.....
