"Canadian Tire" pretty sure itd be in CAD... as for $130 for the wires thats about average in canada for a set of ngk's. i remember when i was buying them in the summer it was around that much. i however got some off amazon for around $80 after shipping. your forgetting we get fucked on everything in canada. our dollar is worth about the same as yours but it goes half as far, even on parts made in canada so figure that one out.

Order for Rockauto.com , right now our dollar is on par with the Yankee green back.
$67cnd + $25 delivery usually have them within 2-3days

yeah but rockauto kills on cross border-shipping. especially if you take into account all the different warehouses they use you may have to pay shipping on each individual item you buy. ive found amazon to have similar prices to rockauto but better shipping rates most of the time. amazon also charges you border/import fees before shipping so there is no surprise charges when your item arrives. for example my gf just bought some $80 boots from the states with $20 shipping, i dont know how it happened but fedex wanted $56 before they would release them to her, making her savings non-existant. its always cheaper to pay those fees before they hit the border then after...

Yup...same story here, bought an exhaust for my quad, a used yoshi, for approx 300 bucks, shipping was 100. So I estimated a new yoshi would cost approx 500, so I thought I was saving 100. When it arrived FedEx wanted 99 bucks for brokerage fees. So now I'm paying full price of a new unit for a used unit. Make matters worse, they send me two letters at different dates saying I owe them the 99 still... I refuse to use FedEx again

Almost forgot- my car would misfire everytime I washed under the hood, but as soon as it dried up it ran fine. I thought it was moisture making its way under the disty.

hopefully new wires will solve your issue

[JDMChris]

So far it's done the trick.. Only time will tell right. Lol
lol n 130 around here for Mazda 6cylindef NGK premiums is pretty good considering they want 175 normally.. Lol you wan a good laugh? 200 a corner for remanufactured calipers.. (including the 80$ core charge)

Ya always make sure shipping is all inclusive. USPS is the best for getting things from the States to Canada. No boarded fee.

[JDMChris]

Yee I got some parts shipped to me from the us via USPS.. Lol damn thin took 3 weeks tho. Lmao
But no customs charge.. Was expecting one.

[JDMChris]

Well guys, thanks for the guidance. So far, changing the ignition wires have fixed the problem.
Must have been the water mixing with failing wires. No more power washing my engine bay lol.

Breaks are next. Rear calipers are finished. When pressure is applied they don't wana release.. Aka hand break sticks etc. That's like a 400$ job.. Lol damn car.. Like you too much to ditch you just yet

You'll find that having air handy when you power wash your motor is your best friend... I was my engine bay about once a month.. I just take 2 min to pull the plug wires out and blow any water out of the spark plug holes..

[JDMChris]

The wires fixed the noticable misfiring/bogging down. But she still misfires.. More subtle now tho. Notice it sometimes when idling and holding a low rpm (2k)

It don't bog me down like it did before but it still misfires.

Cylinder 1 misfire
multiple cylinder misfire.
