  • How To Very Easily FIX A BROKEN SPARK PLUG WIRE!!
    In this video I fix a broken spark plug wire on my 2003 Chevrolet Suburban 1500. I decided to check the condition of my spark plugs and got through two on the passenger side just fine. When I went over to the driver side the first plug I pulled broke. So, instead of dropping $100 dollars to buy a new set I decided to fix it.

    Done this many times in the past minus the grease. One time a repair shop claimed they had to replace a bad plug wire and replaced it with one with a plastic boot that ended up cracking my spark plug in half. Had to buy a new spark plug and I replaced their plastic boot with a rubber one from an old set. Yeah they replaced a wire from an almost brand new set.

    My Jeep Wrangler #6 spark plug wire kept popping off whenever I'd hit a good bump. Pulled over on the freeway as I was half way to picking up my wife from the airport. Took Super Glue I had in the glove box and put a few drops around the rubber boot and popped it back on the spark plug. Been running good for a week, lol. I did order a new set of wires and have the tools in the Jeep to fix it should it break while driving and of course have a roll of Duck Tape......

    I 👍ed because I enjoyed it 'at least just a little bit'!
    I've spent a coupla days trying to fix a strimmer. Seen all the videos. Turns out there is something wrong inside the 6" ( ?) of ht wire. It's moulded into the coil, which are cheap enough but a) the principle of the thing, b) month by slowboat from China. Looking at doing a splice but didn't realise how THIN the one strand of wire is inside, and DELICATE! Even your one has its own private insulation!

    awesome vid , probably it'll work for my motorcycle , i made the mistake twice, technically a 12 v whatever should be ok BUT it fries the starter solenoid i can get used or aftermarket cheap, so next i have old carbs i clean over and over , this time spotless mostly BUT i find two funky spark plug wires (big 4 cylinder) so i realize the messed up running has been a short and not running probably the both wires same time but i think it'll get me rolling fast/lol i saw the vid a while back but i went legally blind a spell , very depressing and aging i guess anyway i got projects all over now i can see but i'm out of shape from the ordeal still , it's been awesome though i had faith and learned alot about the temp state but man imagine i'm 40's , 75-80 year olds pull rvs, boats still i felt old a moment /ranting thanks for the vid i'll try to update if it works for me, i think i have to buy two entire coils used to get the boot and maybe i should study aftermarket , it's good to learn to test the coils too (i'd need to look up ...i have a pilot valve driving me nuts , the idle jet breaks and the carbs are as much as a lower mileage motor but with no carb rack or airbox needed for correct performance if i went back from slide valves ......

      The factory assembled part failed and so once you re-do it, it will fail again!
      The only way to avoid failure is to pull the boot back on brand new leads, apply some super glue and put the boot back in place. Wait 12 hours and then install. They’ll never ever fail!
