Has anyone replaced the factory LS1 spark plug wires with something else than stock? Did you do this due to age of the wires? What replacement did you use?

Were these misfires noticable without a scanner or...? Because my engine sounds still normal, just wondering if I change plugs AND wires anyway next spring.

it could also be the spark plugs. i know it isn't a Camaro but.. my jeep was getting a check engine light for a random misfire, ran fine (i thought) but the light kept coming on after i cleared the code. someone had put Bosch platinums in my jeep just before i bought it and it didn't run right with em. i put cheapo champion plugs in it and it ran a lot smoother. no more misfire.

I was picking up random misfires above the threshold I set with the scanner. I decided to check it out and as I pulled the cables to do a check, two of the cables pulled apart from deterioation.

OK, so I guess it can't hurt changing plugs and wires (got 70000km on plugs and 120000km/9 years on wires).

Also start the car in a dark garage with the hood up. Look for whire/blue arching around the wire. On bad sets you will see all the lectric current flowing away from them.

Hey Ben, I know this is an old post but, have you already changed your plugs/wires? I just want to make sure you don't pay retail. Scott

Thanks Scott. Not changed yet, but got the stuff around here (MSD iridium plugs and wires).
