New Spark Plus Wire corroded

bluestream1 · 03-21-2010, 04:49 PM

I changed my spark plug wires about 5000KM ago with Autolite wires. I just pulled one off to have a look and saw this corrosion on the terminal.

Any ideas what would cause this? All others were fine.

Most aftermarket wires are junk. If I had a dollar everytime I told a customer that his new aftermarker wires are the cause of his misfire I would be rich!
