If your asking what kind to get, bosch platinum single tip. the multiple tips dont work unless each one is gapped perfectly which is impossible. (if it is a millionth of an inch off it will still spark to the closest one.

Bosch is good, but I prefer the NGK IrridiumX's.

Take them out, you don't need them.

WHOOOOOOOOOAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

stay far far away from any platinum plug.

they do not work better than regular $.89 plugs, and you can have really bad problems.

i chased fuel demons around for 2 months, replacing the fp reg, fuel pump, thought an injector was bad, replaced the coil, cap and rotor(that was only 3 months old) and finally found out it was 3 month old basch platinum sinle tips. perfectly gapped, pulled them out, put cheap ones in, and it was all good.

it would fall on it's face over 3500 like it was on the limiter. could hardly drive it

hey bob where you trying to spray with platinum? becuase you can really screw some stuff up using nitours with platinum plugs. I think the main advantage to a good set of platimums in normal driving conditions they last like 50000 miles.

nope, i didn't spray that car.

just bad luck, i guess, the car was all stock too....about 100 %

i have only used reg plugs ever since (that was about 10 years ago)
