Plug wires sticking to terminal of plug
95 Pont. Transport 3.1L

Been thru 4 wires in a week. The inside of the boot(the metal part that clips to terminal) stays connected to the plug, and the rubber boot part pulls right off without it. Thus, disconnection again and again. I've used the dielectric grease every time, so it's not me pulling the boot off and making the inside of it stay on the plug. What is the cause and/or solution for this. Thanks everyone. :shock:

Re: Plug wires sticking to terminal of plug
What kind of plug wires are you using? If you are using the el cheepo wires, I suggest you spend an extra $10-15 and get a decent set of wires.

Re: Plug wires sticking to terminal of plug
Also, why are you pulling the plug wires off so frequently?

Re: Plug wires sticking to terminal of plug
Since upgrading the wires, I've had no problems. The problems I was having, and why I was pulling them off so often was that I knew it was missing. Also the rpm gauge flutters big time during these symptoms. So that told me every time.
