Anybody w/ aftermarket spark plug wires
 
I just installed autoexe spark plug wires. I seem to have lost some of my high end power. My friend told me that due to the less restriction from the wires, the ECU needs time to learn the new timings. Anybody w/ aftermarket wires experience the same issue? low and mid end feels the same, just some loss at high end. I will try do the ECU reset trick tonite and see...

Thanks

i have the RB wires and can't say i noticed anything in performance. the only thing that has changed from stock is the wires are now red.

Yep, I have the RB wires as well. Not much difference, but definitely did't lose high end power. Try disconnecting your battery & resetting the ECU.

I dont think there will be noticable gains, but defn should not lose some high end power.. will try reset and let you guys know. thx.

That stinks if you're losing power...Auto Exe parts are generally and arm and a leg...

Your friend may think he knows what he's talking about but he really doesn't. Ask him to cite credible sources to back up his claim. Somehow I think all he can say is he "heard it from somewhere".

Take a multimeter and check the resistances of all the wires. If one is way different you might've gotten a wire that was faulty from the manufacturer.

^^^^^You would use the Ohmeter on the multimeter
