I would just replace the cheap aftermarket wires with ngk's or any other factory equivalent and see if the wires are the problem. It could be a misfire due to crapping wiring.

i replaced my wires with MSD 8.5, no check engine light and i don't think it should be loose. its probably bad ebay spark plug wires that is giving you the light. if it is the ebay wires giving you the engine light then you should replace them with OEM equivalent or better wires
