Hmm. Nology wires are pretty expensive at 50 bucks per wire. If you get
them, make sure that they are shielded. There was a thread on the Neon
maillist about older Nology wires, which probably weren't shielded. The
poster put them on and loved them, but he was always complaining about
his car stalling and his dashboard going crazy. He spent a lot of time
hounding Chrysler and they replaced a lot of things, including I think the
ECU and dash. When his car died leaving the dealership, he really got
on the service department. A Chrysler engineer came by, noticed the wires
and pulled them off. Electrical gremlins went away. The poster  then got
nailed with a bill for all the unneeded warranty work. Hee hee.
Although I thought the dealer was also at fault, I had no sympathy because
the poster always ragged on miatas. Said his automatic Neon could outrun
any miata. Hmmph.
