I have a 2001 Ford Explorer.
I got it at 113,000 miles and not too long after I replaced the spark plugs.

The wires are motorcraft and as far as I know they are stock. It now has 135,000 miles and I checked the resistance with my digital multimeter on a few of the plug wires today and it was in the 3.14-3.9 range for most of them. Isn't this too low?
 






resistance is a bad thing. usually 25000 ohms is the max allowable. anything higher and u need new wires. u could open ur hood in the dark and check and see if u have spark jumping
