Problems with GM "red" wires...
Anybody have problems with the plug wires coming loose at the spark plug? I put a brand new set of AC Delco plugs and the GM hot "red" wires about 4,000 miles ago. I have already had 2 seperate mis-fire sessions where I had a loose plug wire on driver's side 2nd back and then driver's side 3rd back.
Starting to get a little frustrating.

Are you sure you're pushing them till they click? If you don't feel the click its not properly installed

Yeah I thought I had checked them pretty well after the intial misfire. And they don't look like they are too tight where it would pull off. I am new to the LS series engines and thought I read somewhere about once you click them on the plug you then need to twist them a hair to "lock" them on.
hopefully this is the last issue. They all appear to be on good and tight now.

Hopefully they were just loose. I've had two sets of the GMPP red wires (2 different cars) and never had any problems with them.
