Right and wrong...

The wires are solid core, but there are resistors in the ends, wheras
almost all american cars (at least used to) put the resistance in the wire
and use solid ends.

So, the stock wires are resistance wires, but they do it in a better, but
more expensive way, which is why VW wires are so pricy.

In other words, dont worry about it. they will work fine with EFI. (if
they didnt work with EFI, how would the Jetronic function?)

take care,

Steve
