How To Replace Spark Plug Wires

Steps to check the spark plug cable

- Do the checking at night or wait until it is dark outside.
- Start the car engine and then open the hood and remove the wires slowly.
- When removing the plug wires from the cylinder you must check carefully and look around the wires, if the wires light up meaning the wires are bad.

* If the wires in good condition, they won’t light up when the cable surface close to the engine. Only the head of the wires will light up because it connected to the plugs.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RxiGBODq7Bk

Steps to replace spark plug cable


- Turn off the engine.
- Open the new plug cables and see whether are they label with 1, 2 , 3 and 4, if the new cables aren’t then lay them down and label them by the length of wires.
- Remove and replace the cable one by one. Do not think to unplug all at the same time unless you mark it with number.
- When removing cable from the distributor cap, remember to loose the gap first and not to remove by force. - Normally the manufacturer will deliver together with a plastic slot that use to hold the cable so that they don’t rub against each other or touch on any art of the engine.

Tips:
1. You can replace only those broken wires, but I prefer to replace 1 set (4 wires).
2. Don’t think to save cost and replace the low quality of spark plug wires, because it doesn’t worth and may be pay more in future for the maintenance.

The Plustar Pulse Plug

The Plug is designed for the car to burn fuel in generating power and make the car run. If the plugs not able to completely burn fuel may be wasted. The Plustar Pulse Plugs uses an advance technology to make every drop of gas burn better and cleaner, therefore choosing the right plugs may help you save petrol and make your car more powerful.

The key features of the Plustar Pulse Plugs are:

  • Improved throttle response
  • Better fuel economy, reduced unburned hydrocarbons and reduced misfires
  • Contain inconel alloy electrode
  • Integrated peaking capacitor to store and release incoming ignition energy
  • 50,000-mile expected life
  • Made in the USA

The result of the plugs performance may differ from car to car and the age of the car, therefore for those interested to try will need to note that. I have tried it to my 13 years car, it seem more powerful compare to the normal spark plugs. Besides, my can be started easier and faster to the cool engine in the early morning.

The plugs can be installed by default, but you may need to adjust the gaps in between the Heat Range Cone and the Ground Strap to follow your car manufacturer recommended gaps if it doesn’t meet your car standard.

How To Record Object On The Popup Window In QTP 10

Are you having problem of capturing the objects that appear on the popup window in QTP?

This problem occurs is due to the IE problem, the QTP 10 is not able to record the popup window objects if you are using IE7 or IE8, however the objects can be recorded in IE6. After I trying to record for some popup window, I discover that QTP still not able to fully recording the objects on the popup window but it is much better than IE7 or IE8.

To increase the possibility of success in the object capturing, you need to reset the event capturing level from basic to high level.

Tools - Web Event Recording Confirguration

.

After capturing is done, then you need to do some filtering steps to filter off the unnecessary scripts that recorded. This is because you reset to high event level, therefore whatever actions perform during the recording will be recorded.

  3. Delete all the folders and Sign In, the alert message is no longer displaying on the page.
