My car is misfiring pretty bad and I'd like to throw on a good set of wires to make sure thats the problem before going out and buying an expensive set. If anyone has a used set they'd like to get rid of, please drop me a PM - Thank You.

Use a multimeter to check the resistance of the plug wires to see if they are still good.
Resistance values are in the shop manual or you can also finf them online.
As for replacement wires I use the Accel 800's, which have a lifetime warrenty and just replace them every couple of years.
I have even moved them between new DSM's

How do you know it's the wires? Have you pulled your plugs and inspected them? Gapped them?

I've pulled the plugs yesterday.. they all look fine and are gapped properly, except one which is gapped properly but black like hell, which I thought would be the one that is not sparking?

Doing a voltmeter test on them, is it possible that the wire is only arcing when bent a certain way? A resistance wouldn't really show they're bad/good then correct?
