I bought a set of new spark plug wires 8.5 mm and my mechanic put them on. Than I started up my car and it wont even start. So my mechanic put my old spark plug wires 7 mm and the car started right up. Are the new wires to powerful for the coil pack and if so what other kind of coil pack can I buy? My mechanic told me to buy the 8.5 cause they will last longer and they are thicker coated.

try the larger ones again and use dielectric compound on the ends if they do not have it already it should start.
