  Q: Are Spark Plug Wires Essential for Proper Engine Operation and How Should They Be Inspected on Buick Rendezvous?

  A:

  Engine performance relies on intact spark plug wires which requires complete examination to detect all relevant performance-deteriorating conditions. First examine how the spark plug wires should be routed because improper placement can trigger cross-firing. Inspect spark plug wires for cracks then inspect boot components for tearing as well as arcing and carbon tracking and corrosion at the terminals. Any presence of corrosion or carbon tracking or arcing failure on spark plug wire terminals requires immediate replacement of both the wire and its connected component.
