    Plug wire help for 150hp XR6

    I accidentally pulled a couple of plug wires out of the ignition coil packs on my 2004 XR6. It appears that they thread into the coil pack and the little boot slides down over it. I do not have any experience with this kind of set up, every plug wire I have ever messed with has a little spring clip that pushes on a post or into a socket. Do I just thread the wire back into the coil? I have tried this and they seem kind of loose. I wouldn't mind just changing all the wires out but all the wire sets that I find online have spring clip attachments on the coil end, not just plain wire. I assume maybe you have to build your own out of bulk plug wire?

    Moving your post to the 2.5L forum (correct forum for your XR6).
