I wouldnt buy anything OTHER than Bosch EGO sensors, as they invented them.

But I'm not so sure about their aftermarket plug wires. Installed a set on
my Taurus and it still has SOME of the low/no load miss at low speed and
cruise that I had before I changed them.

And who made the CoilOnPlug assemblies that VW had to replace en Masse?
It wasnt Bosch, it was Bremi... but Bosch, like many others, buys from
other mfrs with their brand stamped on.

I'd think that Motorcraft brand had highest likelihood of being like OE.

And the Motorcraft OE wires I've had on mid-nineties cars have been great.

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
