NGK plug wires....

Just ordered a set off sparkplugs.com for the 3.4L about $38 shipped. Anyone run them? Good, bad?

sup boraxman,
I just installed mine on a 3.4L and performance wise you wont see HUGE gains, but man it sure makes the engine bay a bit more interesting. Hope you enjoy them as much as i do!

That's a great price on 6 wires since that's what it cost for NGKs on my Eclipse and that's was for 4 of them.

Oh also, I dunno if the wires are good or bad, because I originally installed the new wires and a set of plugs to troubleshoot a problem I had. I later found out that it was a bad MAF and o2 sensor, so my truck was running like poorly no mater what.

Doh!!!!

I guess you can see how much I've had to poke under the hood in the 11 months I had my Runner,that's one of the reasons I bought my Toyota so I'm not under the hood all the time like I was with my Eclipse.

They Do Look Pretty Cool. I Was Changing My Plugs Sunday And Noticed A Small Amount Of Arching On The End Of The Boots. I Think I Might Order Some Just As Preventative Maintenance.

That's not a bad price.I was quoted today $58 for a factory set(90 V6).NGK makes great stuff.I swear by their spark plugs.Maybe i should see how much a NGK wire set is for my Runner.
