Granatelli spark plug wires
First of all I am going to say I like the idea of a very low ohm spark plug wire which is why I bought the Granatelli wires.
I have a 2003 Neon SRT-4 and have bought a set of Granatelli wires part no. 24-1283S 90 degree bend at the coil, they snapped on to the factory coil just fine but I could not get them to snap on to the spark plugs no matter how hard I pushed them down they never snapped on or felt tight. I thought well maybe they are on but different some how so I went for a short drive.
The car ran OK for about 3/4 mile then I got mis firing and backfiring. I went back home and put the stock ones on. The stock ones snapped right on to the spark plugs nice and tight easy as that.
The rubber boots that go down into the valve cover to the spark plugs are the same length as the stock ones (5.3 inches) BUT the metal connector inside of the boot on the Granatelli's is recessed 1/4 inch higher in the boot than the stock wires. This explains why there is not a secure connection with the Granatelli wires.
I was sent another set of Granatelli wires part no. 24-1749S straight connector at the coil, set of wires had the same problem, the metal connector to the spark plug is recessed too far in the boot by a 1/4 inch. This stopped it from snapping on to the boot.
Has any one else had this problem?
