If you guys have an ohm-meter, you can just measure the resistance on them... they should be between 400 and 800.

Aftermarket wires (MSD, Taylor) should be much less than that. (25-50ohms)

Mine was a pile of crap with the cracked insulator... wouldn't get out of it's own way.

It sounds like either a plug or a wire is definitely bad.

You may have to reset the pcm to clear any codes.

better pull them out and take a look, maybe you bumped one of the ground straps or something.

the 6's do idle slighly worse than stock. 7's idle much worse than stock. noticable miss.
