It is AMAZING how modern cars eat their wires.
My last daily driver was a '94 Ford Probe GT that developed a heisitation on
acceleration
that had me convinced was some kind of faulty sensor or vacuum hose or
computer
problem.. spent a month with the shop manual going through everything (the
engine compartment
is a mass of wires, hoses, sensors, gizmos...) only to find everything was
perfect. My
brother did say first thing to change the wires.. BUT I ohmed them out, they
were perfect.
I sprayed water on them while the engine was running to look for insulation
breaks.
I visually examined and cleaned them.. they looked and seemed to be like
NEW!
I couldn't find anything else so I bought a new aftermarket set... BINGO,
that fixed it
like new... STUPID ENGINEER!!
