I don't like how they feel and they get very hot.

Purchased for Honda Accord SE 2000 423A1. They fit properly but the material they are made of is like latex mixed with silicone. It just seems so rubbery and flexible. My concern is that the material is absolutely the cheapest they can make it out of. If you can't afford better, just handle them carefully and make sure they don't rest on the valve cover. As far as they fit, they fit, although I don't know how reliably they stay in place for long periods of time. I literally only used them for about 30 minutes and then turned off the machine. One review says their wires melted and caught fire in the engine bay, and I'm almost 80% sure that's no exaggeration. the right size and they fit perfectly in the spark plug chambers. The problem is they don't actually "snap into place" so you just have to trust them to be deep enough. Then the tips of the spark plugs are really thin and when you squeeze the tips they fold into chambers so you have to wiggle them. The same happens if you connect it to a distributor. There is no "pop" and you just have to assume you pressed hard enough. Now the cables are working in terms of spark plug firing, but I don't know if I can trust them. car to drive around the block to see if there was a problem and when I parked the car in front of my house I popped the hood and touched the wires and they were hot. It was only a 5 to 10 minute drive away. I had to drive maybe 30 minutes at a time before stopping, and in the Texas summer (it's just about chilly spring weather) when temperatures can easily top 105 degrees. It seems cool 70-80 at the moment and the wires have gotten so hot. I already put the return line in, but they coped with the task of starting the car. Luckily I won't be driving it for a few days so new cables should arrive by then and I don't have to make long trips with those cables. In addition, my car jerks when idling, which could be due to the low power. The wires are not sparking enough and the spark plugs need to be replaced.

Pros
  • Wire pre-cut to exact length with reinforcement for added strength and retention of terminals.
Cons
  • Empty
