1999 Mazda 626 Misfires Under Load

Misfires under load (acceleration) can be caused by leaky spark plug boots. When a spark plug boot leaks, it allows the spark to arc, or jump, to the cylinder head . If evidence of arcing can be seen on the inside of the spark plug boot, new spark plug wires will be needed.
