How do you replace sparkplug wire?

Get your new sparkplug wire kit from the parts store then disconnect the battery ground cable. Pull the coil wire off of the center connection. If you have a coil pack disconnect one wire from the coil and disconnect the other end from the spark plug. Find the new wire that matches the one you pulled and put it in place. Do one wire at a time so you don't mix up the timing. Did you check your rotor and cap? Did you check your spark plugs? Did you test your coil?
