    Default Where to get OEM Spark plug wires in Snellville?

    I went out to lunch today and the car is now running on 3 cylinders. I noticd it was idling a little rough but then today I lost a good bit of power and I can defiantely tell it's not sparking on one cylinder.
    I have to pick up my daughters from their ball game and I am driving from 285/85 N, down pleasant hill to Ronald reagan to 78 towarsd loganville later tonight. It will be after 7pm, is there a place to get OEM wires on the way home so I can change them on the way. I don't wanna buy cheap wires just to get me home I want to buy good wires once.

    let me know if you guys know of a place to get some good wires on that way home.

    try advance auto parts, they had a better selection of plugs when i bought mine a couple weeks ago, they had the NGK plugs i wanted and autozone didn't, so maybe give them a shot for the wires?

    I don't know what you drive but if it's a honda, maybe try honda on hwy. 78

    edit: just noticed you said it would be 7... i guess try advance on 78 in loganville that's where i went for my plugs, there's also a NAPA beside home depot maybe give them a shot too?

    sorry if im not much help, lol

    Oh, I drive a 95 Integra GSR w/ LS swap.
    I know Advance has the NGK plugs, which is good but they only have Bosch wires, do you think they would be a decent substitute? I know these Honda's work best on NGK wires, but I can't seem to find them at any Autoparts store.

    I second advance auto parts. I work there. we are running a special this month on Bosch platinum +2 plugs for $4.48 this month ONLY. but I would recomend the autolite professional series plug wires. they are awsome.

    all advance stores carry xact (store brand) and autolite professional series wires.

    get the autolites.

    That's right, Autozone had the Bosc, advance has the Autolite pro's. I guess unless there is another suggestion I will go that direction. Does Advance have a long spark plug wrench that I cna buy to change the plugs in the lot? I think it's either a burnt wire or a fowled plug.

    with ohc motors you will need a ratchet, extention, socket. they should have a ratchet, socket and extention for you to borrow. but if you want to buy some tools all our hand tools are 50% off.

    I thought they might have one of those long T handled Spark plug wrenches that would slide in there.

    get the wires from honda or get ngk (order if you have too). plugs ngk as well. most of the time i see any type of ignition/spark issues on a honda, it's because there are crappy wires and bosch or autolite plugs.

    Well, I got to Advance auto last night, bought my $45 wires and installed them and that cured the issue. Glad that was all it was.
    It was tough driving the 30 miles over to Snellville though. I went through a half a tank and only got 150 miles, usually I get something like 175-180 for a half tank but i had to open it up every time to get it to go. 3cylinders verses 4 is a large difference.
