Dealing with seeming weak ignition for some time now. Suspected coil; not. Looked at plug wires and found lots of corrosion on 2 of 4 ends going into cap. According to records, only 2 years old. I failed to renew cap, rotor, wires, plugs 18 months ago upon purchase.

Time to do the above. went with bougicord wires. Noticed the 2-years old Bosch wires had different connections at cap; not tapered as Bougicord but cylindrical. Very curious was the length of the coil wire. The Bosch coil wire was 50% longer than the Bougicord.

Question: Could a longer than warranted coil wire cause week spark? Car seemingly does start more smartly
