spark plug wire recommendations

Hello everyone, I change my spark plugs to Bosch Plat4 and just had them in for about



6weeks, then today one just literally blew up out. Slowly drove it noisly to a shop and with a flash light found nothing in the #2 spark plug, so it really blew up and away. Fortunatly when it blew it didn't strip the threads. The mechanic said the spark plug was probably loose and when #2 sparked it blew it away. So I replaced the spark plug back to NGK-R plugs and got 1 oem wire to get the car back going. The mechanic said he would recommend replacing the OEM spark plug wires.

Now I want to change it so please recommend one. I want to get a better quality, better size. Which one: Accell NGK MAGNACORE What size 8mm or higher?


I don't want to break my wallet either something below 50. Thanks for any and all replies.

Unless you're running forced induction, NGK Blue is more than adequate.

Since Miata's eat up plug wires pretty rapidly, I took a guys advice about purchasing a set of high quality 'lifetime' plug wires from NAPA. He said he just returns them once a year for a new set, no questions asked. I replaced NGK blues and have not noticed any difference.

Good luck, Chris
