lifespan of plug wires, cap on '92 240?

Sep 20, 2003 2 Replies

Mine have been on there at least 60K miles. They could even be the originals. Time to change them out? Thing runs great at 122K miles.



Thanks!

I think its time. If you do, change everything at the same time. You may want to see what a coil costs, as with the new components, the load may change. It just seems to work out that way.

Unless the wires are premium, I'd replace it all. Do the cap and rotor

and plugs every 60k miles or three years, whichever comes first. They will obviously last longer than that, but you'll start to lose MPG and ease of starting. Wires are good for two to 10 years, depending on quality and conditions.
