one end on the spark plug and one end on the distributor unless you have individual coil packs
go to autozone .com then go to troubleshooting and ignition you will find it there
The computer uses the pick up plate in the distributor to know when to activated the coil to cause a spark to go down the coil wire to the distributor cap and through the cap and rotor to an individual plug wire to the spark plug.The computer uses the pick up plate in the distributor to know when to activated the coil to cause a spark to go down the coil wire to the distributor cap and through the cap and rotor to an individual plug wire to the spark plug.
They go from the cap to the spark plugs. Replace one at a time to avoid confusion.
Spark plug wires can go bad in several ways. They can develop shorts, or they can just build up resistance. To test for shorts, go out at night and open your hood and let your engine run. If you see little flashes, or hear pops, you probably have cracked wires that need to be replaces. To test for high resistance, you need a multimeter that can test for ohms (the resistance between two points.) You take off the spark plug wire and touch one probe of your multimeter to one end of the plug wire, and the other probe to the other end. Normal plug wire resistance should be 10,000 to 15,000 ohms per foot of length. If it is higher, it is probably bad.
you would follow the spark plaug wires from the disributor to the spark plug and replace it. Spark plug wires are different sizes in length depending on where they go. Also make sure they are in the right order or your engine might run rough.
go to part store get Spark Tester then take home and hook to end of spark plug wire and engine block.
Go to the local auto wreckers and get one. They're dirt cheap.
Remove the kill wire from the ignition coil. It's the only wire that doesn't go to a plug. Remove one of the spark plugs. Reconnect the plug wire to the plug that has been removed. Make sure the threads of the plug are touching metal on the engine somewhere. Crank the engine. Should see spark. If not, bad coil.
Answer I can only assume that your question is How do I change the spark plug wires on a 1995 Buick and how do I know where they go? You take one wire at a time out of the top of the engine, and trace it to the distrubuter. Replace that wire and continue replacing each wire the same way as you did with the first one. When you are finished the car should run properly, but while you are changing the wires why not change the plugs too.
The wire connects to the coil through the primary and secondary terminals. The primary wire usually comes from a power source, while the secondary wire connects to the spark plug. This creates a magnetic field that generates the spark needed for ignition.
It is important to know how the engine of a car works. In a car, the spark plug cables connect to the vehicles spark plugs.
the spark plugs are screwed into the engine block and the top part of them is covered by a single wire, if you have a four cylinder engine, there will be four spark plugs, the wires will all go from the spark plug to a distributor cap and should pull straight off on each end, if you are replacing the spark plugs make sure not to change any of the wire locations
