Default spark plug wire help

Alright i have a 1994 3.4l and i need to put new wires on it but the person who i bought the car from had the wrong kind of plugs on it they were too long and they barely stay on the spark plugs. so my question is how would i go about putting them on if i cant match the length of the wires since all of these wires are long?

Length shouldn't have a problem with fit, unless they're too short. It's pretty simple to put on new wires. Just go to an auto parts store, ask for a plug wire set for your car. Since I think you mean the lengths are out of order, just put the new ones where they fit best. But do not mix up the wire location (coil to spark plug).

Yup. Take 1 wire off, find a wire in the new set that is a good length, and put it on. Then move to the next wire. You might have to switch them around once to get it right.As long as you don't mix the orders up, you'll do fine.

No problem, we're here to help. I'm not 100% familiar with the 3.4, but I would guess that the longest wire will go to the back. If it is too short or tight, then it doesn't go there.

Look in your other thread, it seems I mis-understood you. Are the boots too long, so that the wire doesn't clip onto the plug?
