go to NAPA and buy one long steel core 7mm plug wire (about 4 bucks) do NOT buy suppression wires !!! steel or copper core only!!!! cut to match the factory length. screw onto coil packs and then screw on boots. Done.

Yep, get some good quiality spark plug wires and just cut to length and screw them in. Cheap and easy. Be sure to use the same caps or get some that offer the same resistance as stock.

I had the same problem, all 4 wires, the little clips that are supposed to keed the wires from touching eachother had slipped down too far and started wearing on eachother from vibration. Called dealer and they replaced all four coil packs ($170 each), under warranty!

If out of warranty, just wrap some tape around em and run them, all 4 coils fire at the same time, so even if they wear through, they will not short out on themselves, only if they arc across to somehwere else on the chasiss.
