Check fitment for your specific vehicle (model, year, engine) before ordering.
What This Product Does
HT means high tension: these cables conduct the ignition system’s high voltage to the spark plugs, where it initiates combustion. Insulation around each conductor helps contain that voltage along its intended path.
Functions
- Conducts ignition voltage to the plugs.
- Insulates the electrical path between ignition connections.
- Connects the ignition components through dedicated leads.
Technical Details
- Supplied quantity: five cables.
- Application identifiers include XJ, XK and M31.03; refer to the individual fitment entries.
Symptoms of Fault
- Uneven running or misfiring during acceleration.
- Starting difficulties or hesitation.
- Ignition problems that worsen in wet conditions.
- Split, hardened or otherwise damaged insulation.
- Loose connections or corroded terminals.
- Evidence of electrical tracking around cables or boots.
Why Replacement Matters
Heat, vibration and contamination can deteriorate ignition cables. Damaged insulation, degraded conductors or corroded connections can interrupt the intended electrical path. Renewing leads with a confirmed fault addresses that deterioration; inspect the plugs, distributor connections and cable routing at the same time rather than assuming every misfire originates in the leads.
FAQs
How many cables are included?
The supplied set contains five cables.
Can one faulty lead affect a single cylinder?
Yes. A defective individual cable can cause a cylinder-specific ignition problem, although other ignition or fuelling faults can produce similar symptoms.
Does a resistance test confirm cable condition?
A multimeter can identify some conductor faults, but a resistance reading alone does not establish whether the insulation remains sound.
Should the spark plugs also be changed?
Inspect their condition and service history. Replace worn plugs as required rather than assuming that new plugs are necessary whenever leads are renewed.

Ignition HT Lead Set
Ignition HT Lead Set by OE Match for Porsche 964 Carrera 2, Carrera 4 and RS 3.6L or 3.8L models from 1989–94. This replacement set is intended for the air-cooled 3.6-litre ignition system.
Fits
- Porsche 964 C2, C4, RS 1989 - 1994
- Porsche 964 (911) C2 1989–93

- Porsche 964 (911) RS 3.6L 1991–93
- Porsche 964 (911) RS 3.8L 1991–93
What This Product Does
The HT leads carry high-voltage electrical energy from the ignition system to the spark plugs. Sound insulation, secure terminal connections and correct routing help each cylinder receive a consistent spark while limiting electrical leakage and interference.
Functions
- Transfers high voltage to the spark plugs
- Supports consistent ignition across the engine
- Insulates the ignition circuit against electrical leakage
- Connects the distributor system to the individual cylinders
- Provides a matched replacement for aged ignition leads
Technical Details
- Product type: complete ignition HT lead set
- Engine capacity: 3.6L
- Verified diagram applications include M64.01 and M64.02 Carrera 2/4 engines and the M64.03 Carrera RS engine
- The associated ignition assembly uses individually routed cylinder leads and spark plug connectors
Symptoms of Fault
- Misfires under acceleration or engine load
- Uneven or rough idle
- Hard starting when hot or cold
- Hesitation during acceleration
- Misfires that become more noticeable in damp conditions
- Visible cracks, hardening or damage to the lead insulation
- Arcing marks or corrosion around the terminals and boots
- Increased fuel consumption caused by incomplete combustion
Why Replacement Matters
Heat, vibration and age can raise conductor resistance or weaken the insulation surrounding an ignition lead. This may allow the spark to leak before it reaches the plug, producing intermittent misfires and poor running. Replacing aged leads as a set helps maintain consistent electrical characteristics across the cylinders. Inspect the spark plugs, distributor caps, rotor arms, connectors and lead routing during installation so that other worn ignition components are not overlooked.
Installation Note
Cable holders and fan cover need to be reused from existing cables. Alternatively they are available to order separately.

FAQs
- Can one damaged lead cause a single-cylinder misfire?
Yes. One lead may fail before the others, although leads of the same age are commonly renewed together. - Can ignition leads be checked with a multimeter?
Resistance testing can identify some internal faults, but it may not reveal insulation that breaks down only under high voltage, heat or moisture. - Should other ignition parts be inspected?
Yes. Check the spark plugs, distributor caps, rotor arms, connectors and cable supports for wear, corrosion or contamination.

Ignition Tune-Up Kit
An ignition tune-up kit includes all the parts you need to service your vehicle's ignition system. Components like spark plugs, ignition coils, spark plug connectors, and spark plug wires will eventually require replacement.
When these components are used past their useable service life you will often experience a vehicle that does not run smoothly, suffers from misfires, or even completely dead cylinders due to no spark. Replacing ignition components should be done on a regular interval
Ignition Tune-Up Kit Failure Symptoms
- Check engine light due to misfire
- P0300, P0301, P0302, P0303, P0304, P0305, P0306, P0307, P0308 and other cylinder specific misfire OBD fault codes
- Hesitation while accelerating
- Poor fuel economy due to incomplete combustion
