Do I need new sparkplug wires?

**Smalltownmodder** · 04-21-2010

OKay so I just got some Bosch platinum 2 sparkplugs. Now I'm wondering if I should just go ahead a replace the wires while I'm at it or same my money. I'v heard that it's all a bunch of hype and new wire are only really needed if one is really corroded or burnt out. And would getting proformance wire be worth it?

Okay well since I'm not getting wire what spark plugs should I be using? I just happen to get these for free and thought I'd use them.

You will probably break the wires pulling them off anyways.

Bosch wires I've heard have issues with causing misfires in these cars. If you replace the wires just get the duralast from autozone, lifetime warranty.

i was told by a good friend of mine who has been around GM engines for a bit that 3800's don't like bosch in general

the only bosch-made thing my car likes is their oil filter. its essentially k&n oil filter w/o the screw. insides are the same.

thats good to know guys. I'm gunna pick up some autolite copper cores at soon as I can. I mean Free is good but it's not worth risking my engine lol. Plus it's only like 15 bucks or less.
