How to Recrimp a Spark Plug Wire

A solid connection between the distributor and the spark plugs ensures your vehicle runs correctly. When a spark plug connector becomes loose or receives damage, the spark plug emits a weak spark. This causes the fuel/air mixture inside the engine combustion chamber to partially ignite, wasting fuel and reducing the amount of power generated by the engine. Tightening the crimp on a loose spark plug connector keeps the spark plug firing normally, increasing the power and fuel economy of your vehicle.

Instructions

1

Apply the vehicle parking brake. Pull the hood release to open the hood.

2

Pull the loose spark plug wire off the spark plug and the distributor cap with your hands.

3

Push the boot covering the spark plug connector back onto the spark plug wire to expose the connector.

4

Place a spark plug crimper around the loosened connector with the far end of the crimper sitting even with the end of the connector closest to the spark plug wire. Set the crimper in the jaws of a bench mounted vise.

5

Turn the handle of the bench mounted vise clockwise to force the jaws of the crimper against the spark plug connector. Turn the handle counterclockwise until the crimper releases from the vise jaws. Remove the crimper from the spark plug wire.

6

Push the boot back over the tightened connector. Attach the spark plug wire onto the spark plug and the connector located on the distributor cap.
