ok i have 2 problems with my 92 mx3 6 cyl. The first one is i went to change the wires and plugs and the wires i bought have little rubber pieces on the end of them and when i went to take out the old plugs i noticed that the rubber caps that are on the wires are stuck down around the plug (the caps from the old wires) so is there an easy way of getting them out so i can change up my plugs? And second my fule guage is acting weird when i fill the tank it works fine until i get to about a half tank of gas then it starts acting weird and drops down to empty.What could be causing that to happen and is there any way to fix it?

the broken plug wire boot sux. i use a long screwdriver or pick to tear the boot and blow it out with shop air.
you could try a coat hanger cut sharp to tear boot enuph to get socket over the spark plug and remove the plug. computer duster works great to blow debris from plug hole before you remove plugs.

fuel gauge sender in tank must have a dead spot. you needs a new or good used sender.

Well to get the caps out you'll probably need to use a coat hanger or a really long slender screwdriver. As for the fuel thing if it happens more around a 1/4 tank under heavy acceleration or around hills, then it is normal cause the car has a float type gauge.

use long needle nose pliers to get the spark plug boots off.
