I picked up a tip regarding spark plug wires, from the Electromotive, Inc.'s TEC3 system Wizard a minute ago.

It states that ...
When using a high-voltage system such as the TEC3, plug wires tend to break down over a period of time due to the high-voltage spark being generated. Even a wire that looks ok can be faulty. Looking for stray sparks on the wires in the dark with the engine running will catch most bad wires. Plug wires should be a normal maintenance item and replaced every year or two.

I just thought I'd pass that along. :CAC

They say that one remembers things in the following order:
  1. Listening
  2. Repeating (speaking the thing to be remembered)
  3. Writing, of which it is said that something like ninety-percent of what you write you remember. (Does typing count? :D)

I forget the percentages assigned to each of those catagories, but that it probably due to the fact that I did not write it down! ;LOL
