Frequently the spark plug wires (1 sometimes 2) will loose connection from the plug(s), and rise at out of place, rendering them useless. Why, and How dio I repair the problem?

Also re check the wire ends, if these are older wires especially, the steel connector could be too loose to grab properly, push it on until you feel it click into place.

Also, if the wires have been damaged by oil. They will be swollen and not stay in the tubes.
