If there are no spark plug wires, there will be no spark. I'd find someone else to hang out with as he doesn't know his ass from a hole in the ground...

Is he saying that it has coil on plug ignition??

Edit, after looking it seems that the RSX is a Coil on plug ignition system,. that means that the ignition coils are directly over the plugs, so no wire is needed as they are directly connected

But that is stock, so if your bud is braging about it, tell him that most saturns after 1994 have that ignition system

A lot of jeeps have it too, not just ecotecs. It is fairly common.

If he was talking about a coil on plug design, then I'd still find someone else to hang out with.
