Default nology hotwire

anyone know anything regarding how well these wires work?

i have read around, and people seem to have problems with them.

is this just because they didn't replace their coil?

or is there some other problem?

don't bother. compared to toyota's coil on plug design, nology wires are actually a downgrade.

yes, basically, nology hotwires, are a downgrade for toyotas.

also, we have iridium spark plugs stock, so all that gimmicky stuff like bosch platinum plus 4 plugs are also a downgrade.

Just like what was posted it is a downgrade. Coil on plug are as close to being direct as possible when you install the Nology wires you actually move the coil away from the spark plug.
