So i noticed my car had a bit of hesitation around 5,000 rpms. I decided to just change the plugs and bingo, that was it. Car pulls like a raped ape again. The stock plugs had weird orange stuff around the base on the back of the plug that goes into the wire. Not sure what that crap was. Also, interesting to note, based on the black stuff on the sides of the plug, it looks like cyl 1 and 4 are a little rich and 2 / 3 are a little lean. Does this motor throw 1 and 4 then 2 and 3?

Nice......i feel I need to replace mine also. Ive had the NGK Iridiums on for about a year now, roughly 20k+ miles.....but i get on it every now and then. People have told me there supposed to last 100K (dunno)

......also, getting the NGK Iridiums at $19 a set gets me to the point where im like, **** it, just get new ones.

Ow, that's expensive. Do those plugs actually make a difference over stock?CitizenPro said:I need to go check them.....ive been a lazy mofo, there probably baked.

I remember going to CarBoy just to get 2 heat range colder NGK's for my civic when i was boosted. Those assholes wouldn't take a credit card unless i spent $20.

yeah. i spent $45 for my denso plugs (www.imotorgear.com). where can you get them that cheap(at $20 a set)???
What about Bosch +4 Platinum?!
What do you guys think about these plugs? I just bought them (NOT cheap) and noticed a big difference! They say they can run for 100,000 mi. I guess that's with the wire brush technique stated below. But yeah, I'll post any MPG improvement with the new plugs. Just wondering what you guys thought about these plugs. L8.

only gap the plugs if they are standard type plugs. dont gap iridiums or platinum.
Iridium and platinum plugs are supposed to come pre-gapped, however, I've experienced variances in the gaps with previous plugs. The tips on iridium and platinum plugs are small and fragile. So if you do gap them, be careful.NJP5Guy said:only gap the plugs if they are standard type plugs. dont gap iridiums or platinum.
The recommended gap is posted on the underhood emissions sticker. IIRC, .045".
