can I use a spark plug wire set that is labeled for one car on another? they are both 4 cylinder cars.
is there any difference between sets other than the length and type of connectors(like resistance)?
so If I can get it to fit, is it good to use? or will it hurt mileage/power/etc
thanks

If the length is correct, it shouldn't matter much in theory.
However, the thickness of the insulation, type of conductor, and the terminals may all be different even though the length is the same. These things are important to proper operation of the engine so it's always best to use the set designed for the engine.

spark plug wires are spark plug wires. if there are 4 wires and the lengths are similar, you can use a set that wasn't necesarily intended for your car. using old wires will hurt both gas mileage and power, so as long as they are new you will be all set.

The wires are interchangable, but each spark plug goes to a specific place. So you can't leave the wires plugged in on one end and move them on the other end.
