plug wire upgrade
I changed my plug wires to taylor thundervolts 8.2 mm
these wires have a ferrite spiral wound coated core along with 50 ohms of resistance rfi and emi compatible
my question is will these do damage ?spoke to a H.D mech who said those wires deliver a harder spark and over time will
cause problems with my ignition ... whose got 2 cents

RE: plug wire upgrade
Just wait.......
Your CEL will come on.....
Then it will stay on.......
Are those wires designed for a HD EFI System.......
Prolly not.....
You are messing with the ECM's ability to monitor and modify spark requirements, as well as sensing the complete and proper burn of the combustion chamber contents....
It's called ION Sense....
The coil sends out a constant 80 vdc and the ECM picks it up, and adjusts accordingly.....

RE: plug wire upgrade
How about the SE plug wires that are a larger diameter, are those ok?
I switched to those and have had no problems at all. I know that the ion sense is still working because when I data log with the SERT sometimes I'll get a rare knock and the system still retards timing.
