I am trying to track down some misfire issues and I have a few questions
about the 2.1 WBX ignition system.
It seems quite conventional, the ECU pulses the coil, the spark goes to the
distributor and then on to the plugs.
I believe the plug wires are solid core and the RF suppression is done
through a metal shielded resistor/shroud that connects to the plugs. This
seems rather complex, considering that most vehicles use resistive wires and
rubber boots/connectors on the plugs.


So what would happen If I got a set of Œconventionalš wires and hooked them
up without the metal spark plug connectors? I may be missing something quite
important.
