NGK 5659 spark plug wire set for the 2001-2005 Mazda Miata 4-cylinder 1.8L and other vehicles carries ignition voltage to the spark plugs. Each NGK wire is built to OEM tolerances with OE-quality or better materials.
- Variable pitch resistor cable gives uniform resistance and good electrical conductivity
- Variable pitch winding over a Ferrite magnetic alloy coating suppresses EMI/RFI noise with ultra low resistance
- Outer jacket withstands temperatures greater than 250 degrees C, with EPDM or silicone inner insulation
- Stainless steel terminals with up to 3 serrated crimps bite into the jacket and insulation to hold the cable
- Spark plug boots are glued to the cable with silicone sealer for a watertight seal
- Locking C-shaped spring clip with corrosion-resistant plating secures the spark plug terminal
Quick facts
- Part: NGK 5659 spark plug wire set
- Fits: 2001-2005 Mazda Miata 4-cylinder 1.8L and other vehicles
- Condition: New
A misfire, hard starting, or cracked, burned or loose boots can mean the wires have worn out. A misfire alone does not prove the wires are the problem, since a worn spark plug can produce it too.
Fits
The set also fits the 2001-2003 Mazda Protege 4-cylinder 2.0L and the 2002-2003 Mazda Protege5 4-cylinder 2.0L. Order one set per car; it holds two wires.
