While replacing my plugs, plug wire #4 broke off! No pic to show but the end where it was in the wire has a screw in it and dont know what to do to replace/fix!

Are you saying the cap that attaches to the plug simply came off the wire, or did the cap itself actually break? If it just came off the wire you can just screw it back into the wire. If it actually broke you'll need a replacement. Ed

It did not break. There is a screw sticking out inside of the cap but I dont see a place to screw it back in the wire.

It just screws into the end of the wire. The screw attaches to the wire in the center of the wire and secures itself to the insulation at the same time.eric77kz wrote: It did not break. There is a screw sticking out inside of the cap but I dont see a place to screw it back in the wire.

Take some cutters and snip off about 1/4" of the old coil wire off, then press the cap onto the wire and spin in clockwise until it's tight. You're done. The "screw" digs into the core metal of the wire and creates a good contact.

A pair of dyna coils and new wires is a nice upgrade if theres money in the budget.

No Budget money yet but soon very soon. The old wire is so short there was no room to snip. But I did get it back on there!
