I bought a set of NGK wires for my car and as I was changing them I came across a metal tube with a spring attached in the end of each stock wire covering the actual spark plug. My question to you guys is when installing the aftermarkey wire set, do I still need to put this back in, or can I leave it out? Whats the purpose of this? I put them in the ends of the new wire set, but have noticed the car runs rougher at idle, not sure why. Thanks guys
