Default need help routing sprak plug wires on a 93

is it jsut the 93's that have some big *** compressor of some sorts that blocks the sprak plug wires to the opti!!!!!

I have jsut finished all of the plugs on the right side of the engine (looking at engine side) 1-3-5-7 and I Got 2&4 in and done #6 spark plug is in and Im trying to route the wires the ebst way and I finally am able to see that the way I was gunan route them puts them damn close to some of the pullys?

BTW an update on what I've done to my car.....installed new water pump last night (went out on me), put a magnaflow dual cat bak system, got it and installed pretty cheap, new hatch struts, new driver window motor, oil change, coolant flush, free mods (remove resonator in air tube, re-route throttle body heater) so far I have put in $605 into her and I got her for 300 bux so for 905 dollars I have a preatty nicely runnign car.

so basiaclly my question is, what is the best way to route the sprak plug wires on the elft side of the engine??????

Thanx ion advance guys!



oh and my #7 plug wire was alsmot broken completely off so I thikn that was one of my problems of the sputtering rolling on the throttle.

You're right, it is close to the pulleys. Just be patient, take plenty of breaks so you can stay away from the kerosene and matches, and you'll get'er done.

yeah guess there was no easy way top do it, I got it done, tuned out one of the wires had been spliced open by somethign and probably wasent giving me all the sprak I needed, that and that plug was covered in carbon so its runnign quite a bit better.....I might pull the injectors again and run them threw the ultrasonic cleaner to clean them up a bit.
