I have not have any good long term luck on Bosch wires or
plugs. I know my experience is not scientific but, I have
had to replace each and every Bosch plug and wire within 6
mo of installation. With Ford's, the only satisfaction I
have had has been either Motorcraft or Autolite both of
which have roots in Ford. Motorcraft is a Ford brand and is
available in the aftermarket for much less than you will pay
at the dealer.

Look at the Bosch wires, you can find them all over the place. If you want to clean the injectors, look for a bottle of cleaner you hook up firectly to the fuel rail.

OK, I'm convinced. Getting ready to *finally* replace OEM *manifold*
and figure its a good time to do the wires. Any suggestions on how to
save a few bucks. Any online sources? While we're at it :) how about
online sources for replacement radiators?

This is a 97 with 155 K, any input about injectors would be appreciated.
Can they be cleaned? How long are they supposed to perform well?

TIA, Frank
