I need some help. I just finished changing all 4 spark plugs and now I am getting a clicking noise. I changed each individually so I would not mix up the trailing and leading plugs. I tried loosening the plugs a little and then tightening the plugs a little more. Still getting the same noise. I made sure evrything was tight. I am using the NGK iridium plugs. I have a 2005 6 speed, all stock.

It it's really fast clicking. The plug wires are probably loose

Thanks! I will try the wires in the morning.

I checked all of the plugs and the wires. Reseat all of the wires at the plugs and at the coils. I am still getting the same sound. Could it be my wires?

dhill1921

Any ideas? Anyone? I don't want to drive it if this will cause any damage to the engine.

How many miles on the car?
It may be your wires if your car has lots of miles. Might as well replace them. If it turns out to not be the wire then I suggest searching the forum for some who has had the same problem

Thanks for the reply. I just hit 66k. I am ordering the wires today. I just wanted to make sure that I owuld not be damaging my car by driving it until I can get the wires installed.

you might have cracked the porclin on one of the plugs. i did it before. while the car is running (better if its dark out) check to see if theres any arcing to the "block". do not grab anything down there while the car is running, if its arcing and you touch it it will hurt like a bitch. if its not the plugs the wires might not be all the way on. you should change your coils too

Thanks 200.mph!! I will try that as soon as I get the wires. I thought about changing the coils too but they seem to be fine.

Yea always change the coils on the car. 8s have notoriously weak coils
