I went to check the plugs and found this:

 

I hope to hell that's not normal, I have those same wires!

 

Yeah, this sucks. I just went to pull them off and it just fell apart. No force or anything. They were fine the last time I looked at them. Then the past few da's the car was showing some knock and bad performance. So I decided to take a look at the plugs and there went the wire.

 

i bought a new set of those and the car ran like ****, switched to MSD and it runs way better...i will never buy Taylor products again

 

3 out of 5 broke on me yesterday when I was checking them. 2 looked like they were not crimped enough, one broke like yours. I will post pics when I figure out how. Bought mine about a year ago.

 

Yeh, now that I have posted this I see I'm not the only one here having this problem. I wish I had seen this first before buying them.

 

I've got MSD's on my car which are great wires. The only complaint I have is the spark plug boots, they are long and thick and you really need to push hard to get them to click on. Normally not a problem except a couple plugs on the pass side are not that easy to get a real good grip on. I just finished removing the AIR on my car and was putting a couple wires back, I thought I had #4 on but when I pushed on it hard again I heard a click, good thing I double checked. After rechecking the dr side one of those was not on all the way.
I was thinking of getting some Taylors which have shorter plug boots but after reading this I think I'll stick with what I have.

 

I had one of mine break too. Sadly, it seems that's the norm for Taylors.

they were normal for me, on 3 wires. i went back to OEM and nary a problem.

 

Crazy!

 

You know its a sad day when you have to intentionaly destroy one of your plug wires after getting raped by a Mustang so you will have an excuse for why you lost!




















LOL LOL LOL Steve, I couldnt resist!

 

Same exact thing happened to me while changing plugs yesterday. My wires were put on 9 months ago and yesterday was the second time I had removed that particular wire. Didn't have a problem with any of the other wires (crossing fingers). Luckily a friend of mine who was helping me out had a spare set that I could borrow one from.

 

I have MSD wires now because of that same crap. I was even careful. But when i went to pull them off I wasn't HMMM...somehow none of them broke then.

 

That's not a new problem for that company. I had the same problems years ago on the mustangs.

 

I had the 10.4 thundervolts and that same thing happened. I went to replace the plugs and when I got a few out I looked and the electrode from the wire was still on the end of the plug. kinda sucked b/c I only wanted to change the plugs and it was like 1am when I was doing it. so the car sat the next day instead of going to the track like what I was changing the plugs for. hope this helps
thanks
