Spark Plug Wires

[97ranger22bronco]

Probably a silly question, but over the years I've learned they should be asked anyway: is there a way to buy a single spark plug wire? I went through and replaced the spark plugs in my 2.3 today and one of wires was so stuck that it came apart in 3 separate parts...

You probably could find a single buying online, but I'm not sure if the local stores carry them like that. I wouldn't recommend it though. If your plug wire was old enough to break like that, it's time for new ones anyway. They do have a lifespan and will start to break down over time, while they still worked you probably had arcing and other stuff going on that just hadn't shown an issue yet.

For future reference the "1983-2011 Ford Ranger Mini Trucks " forum is for build threads and showing off your truck. This thread should have been posted in the 4 cylinder section.

take the pieces to a real auto parts store like a NAPA and they will probably be able to fix you up.

Not all NAPA stores are "real". Alas, time has caught up to many.
