H23 headache

[kamikaze_accord]

Hey guys....Can anyone help me out. My h23 spark plug wires keep popping out. When I start the car, sometimes the number 2 spark plug wire pops out. So I have pop the hood and push it back in. When I drive and i pass 3,500 rpm it pops out again. If your wondering if i Put it in right, I do by listening to the spark plug wire clip on to the spark plug. This happened to me before. Also recently all of the wires been popping out. So it started from the number 2 wire to all the wires.

If its just the wires popping out try taking them out and with some pliers make the ends a little smaller, then they will snap on tighter. Just don't go too small.

Are the plugs themselves loose? There should be nothing getting past the plugs to pop the wires up. I have 2 damaged plug holes on my H22, and I have to occasionally tighten the plugs, or they rise up in the holes, allowing air/fuel to be pushed out.

Is the wires and cap brand new?

No they are not loose. That's why I'm wondering why they keep popping out.

Yes the cap, rotor, and spark plugs are new.

maybe one of the tube seals blew out and is allowing crank case pressure to enter the spark plug tube?

So what do you think I should do? Should I replace the Spark plug wires again?

[wed3k]

no it could be something in the tube, like one of the two seals.

So i can just replace the seals on spark plug wires? Or is there another seal that your talking about?

i think he's talking about the lower tube seals...they're under the rocker arms. So you'd have to take those off and replace the o-rings underneath. Those get hard/brittle over time and loose their sealing ability.
