    Since at least December 14 I've been running one of my spark plug wires like this... I was just looking through photos and noticed something looked a little off here. I just ran out, popped the hood and noticed it was still like this. I pulled it out, checked the inside and everything looked fine, no corrosion or anything of that sort. How bad is this?

    Look at the wire top on the plug closest. It's pulled out about an out about half an inch. I just pushed it in and sealed it, started the 4runner and everything worked fine...

    If it runs then you are fine. If it misfires just replace the wire. May want to throw some electrical tape on it. Just so it doesn't arc to the block

    The wires are new since November. I'm running a P0420 code so I don't know if I have any more misfire codes. I'll run up to an AutoZone tomorrow and get it read again to make sure all is okay.

    Damn good eye. Yeah, I'd say it's fine if it's running. I would have thought you'd be getting misfire codes since it was out like that. Interesting.

    Don't have time for a brake job. I'm taking the truck for an oil change on Thursday morning. I'll have them rotate the tires and check it out. I would do it myself but my landlord has decided that it looks trashy for me to constantly be working on my truck in front of the apartment complex...

    I can't get it to straight up run right. There are misfire theories and coil theories.

    Straight up stalled yesterday. It sputters and dies but usually saves itself.


    I did a mini write up of just the half moon plugs.
