Re: Spark Plugs:
Ordered the OEM plugs from IPD two days ago. These still don't look like the ones I removed, though. <see attached pic>
Re: Wires:
I'm confused then...please forgive me:
If the coil sits immediately above the plugs, what are the wires that come out of the coils called?
It was the 'flex conduit' around these wires that is crumbling to the touch.

Bender,
Thank you for your guidance.
I finally received and changed out the plugs ... the proper ones from IPD. perfect.
If I understand it correctly, the ignition coils are what get inserted above the spark plugs and actually make contact with them. Is this correct?
Next in line are the wires that plug into the ignition coils... what are these called and how would I know if they need to be replaced.
I have a sneaking suspicion that they do. Like I said in a previous post, the conduit, or shielding, that is around these wires is now crumbling and now my car is idling and firing incorrectly....
The car has 120K miles. How would I know if the ignition coils need to be replaced?
Thank you.

Thank you.
Are you getting CEL ? It should indicate which cylinder is misfiring. Did you make sure to plug the same wire to the ignition coil that it came from ?
