Try 3 out of 4! My old mazda pickup with 80 hp (at the crank) did not like it when one of the plug cables melted and shorted against the engine! Talk about slow! It took me a little while to realize what the hell was going on.

RE: 10k mile spark plug check!
It needs to be deepwell, but nothing special. They are probably the easiest plugs to remove i've ever done, except for removing the coil packs.
I'll post more later about how to do it and what else will make it easy.

for a 9/16 socket, do you need a special deep one to get at the plug?

I decided I would check my spark plugs since I just rolled over 10k miles.

Well this new spark plug design has been known to seize in the head and break off the heat shield. If you'd go 153k miles without checking your spark plugs I feel sorry for your engine.

Exactly... The guy above must not be informed on the problems.
These plugs are known to have some sort of sheild or something weld itself on there, so the plug can EASILY break when being removed and then you got problems... The sooner you can check them and put anti-seize on then do it.
