MSD Plug Wires, Does Computer Learn Them? Guys, I just put on msd plug wires and the car started up and ran great for about 1 minute. Then, all of the sudden, it would start to almost stall out. I have had a couple of loose plug wires before with the stock wires and it was nothing like this (loose plug wires generated a consistant miss). About a month ago I put in beru plugs gapped at 57 thousanths and the car did the same thing but it eventually went away. The car drives fine but occasionally it just seems like the timing just goes away for a second or two then its fine (again nothing like the studdering that a loose plug wire generated). Are the lower resistance wires timely for the computer to learn. I have taken the wires off and replaced them four or more times to make sure that everyone is on tight and they all are. Any comments or suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
P.S. I have full bolt ons.

Re: MSD Plug Wires, Does Computer Learn Them? Can't vouch for the Beru plugs since I've heard some less than favorable comments on them in the past (I have no experience with them myself). As long as your plug wires are not damaged and are properly installed I would look elsewhere for the problem.

Re: MSD Plug Wires, Does Computer Learn Them? My guess is the plugs themselves. Before I installed my eight new MSD 8.5mm Superconductor's I "ohmed" out each wire. The most from any of the eight wires was 28.0 ohms. That's excellent IMO.
