How much does it cost to get new spark plugs and wires?

I have a problem with it idling rough only first thing in the morning and want to rule out the old wires,since they are as old as the car I figure I might try changing them.96 TercelHow much does it cost to get new spark plugs and wires?Its fairly cheap. I would say about 2-5 bucks per plug. And 5 bucks per wire. So yes about 35 for a 4 cylinder and 50 for a 6 cyl. It would possibly be rough driving it too. You can check them to see if they are bad before you change them by simply pulling one off at a time while the car is running. If the car runs rougher when you take it off, then that one is fine and works. Put the wire back on the plug and do the same to the next one.How much does it cost to get new spark plugs and wires?Call the dealer. Aftermarket spark plug wires from your local auto parts stores may cause you more problems than fix. Dealer spark plug wires shouldn't run you more than $50-$100.



Spark plug wires generally won't cause idle problems but rather acceleration problems. If you car is fuel injected, the cold start valve may be bad. The cold start valve is an extra fuel injector that squirts additional fuel, into the intake, only when the vehicle is cold to prevent the need for %26quot;warming up the vehicle%26quot; before driving a cold vehicle.



Temperature related driveability problems are difficult to diagnose and can range from dirty idle air intake to fouled oxygen sensors and bad catalytic converters.How much does it cost to get new spark plugs and wires?It should be about $35 for plugs and wires.
