[QUOTE="Twista, post: 560086, member: 8202"] Sadly, the guy who owned the car before didn't take of it like me, but atleast i do acouple things to it. The spark plug wires was STOCK as it said 1997 (year of my car) stamped on them plus the wire number. The spark plugs had to be stock i bet as they motorcraft on them.. So what.. is that 10 years old plugs and wires :nono: Brought the pregapped bosch plat 2 plugs for 5 each...($40) and durablast??? wires for $50.. so $90 so the whole fix wasnt bad.. taking it to the shop they wanted $80 just to install the wires/plugs and $250 for there own plugs and wires+labor. Also, the only thing that is hard is removing the first wire plug on the passenger side near the front of the car. I had a pain getting that wire off because my hand was to big to fit in that small space plus there was some metal rail just in my way :violent1: The rest was painless and i didnt grease the wires as the box said not (pre piled plugs) to plus there was already oil inside the plugs. Verdit: Driver 5- wet 6-wet 7-wet 8-wet Pass 1-3 dry 4-soaking wet [size=6] Problem: Fixed. Next paycheck i shall buy some MIL's because im not changing the freaking midpipe till i get an O/R x :BangHead: Thanks sn95[/size] :thumbsup: :headbang: :headbang: :thumbsup: :notworthy: :icon_salut: For ease of installation ill just buy the pre-gapped bosch platinum 2 plugs again- [url=http://www.boschautoparts.com/Products/SparkPlugs/Platinum2]http://www.boschautoparts.com/Products/SparkPlugs/Platinum2[/url] edit: Knock on wood.. i just searched stangnet for reviews on the Bosch plugs and every single one is bad. so maybe next time i will just gap some OEM ones myself.
