How important is it to have neatly routed plug wires? I understand the idea of crossfiring, but I thought that wasn't really a problem with modern plug wires. In other words, yes, my plug wires are a jumble, but they are wired correctly.
The reason I ask is that I get bucking when letting off the gas. If I entirely take my foot off, or totally release the cruise control, it doesn't happen. I have checked my injectors, plugs, cap and rotor, and O2 sensors, so I'm left thinking it may be crossfiring or a fuel-pump problem (which I'd rather not deal with in sub-freezing temps.).
I know the simple solution is just go out and "properly" and neatly route them, but I thought I'd ask anyway.
