The coil generates the highest voltage under high load lean mxture conditions. *NM* MarcW - Wednesday, 31 July, 2013, at 5:27:46 pm |
Can't tell you until I have the current plugs replaced. I just let the tech put in whatever... MarcW - Wednesday, 31 July, 2013, at 9:41:27 am |
The service manual lists 4 plugs, but most factory plugs are Beru. The others are grant - Wednesday, 31 July, 2013, at 2:45:43 pm |

Unlesss there is some kind of feedback circuit sensing the spark, this is the ONLY way grant - Monday, 5 August, 2013, at 8:15:45 am |
Do oil, carbon, and other deposits act as dielectrics? My guess is "yes." *NM* Laz - Monday, 5 August, 2013, at 10:49:24 am |

Always check brake pads and rotors for any signs of abnormal wear or other... MarcW - Saturday, 3 August, 2013, at 11:24:30 am |

The Beru plugs arrived from Pelican Parts, along with the OEM Pollen, Air and Oil Filter and a Liter of ATE Brake fluid - regular, redish-brown I think. I used the Blue for my last flush & clutch bleed. Motive Power Bleeder has been a great investment!
Wal*Mart has Mobil 1 at $22.97 for the 5qt jugs. My local store has 0W-40 but I have been using the 10W-40 High Mileage for the last several changes. ~$160 for a 120k service and oil change... you won't see that bill from the dealer.
I replaced the serpentine belt, gear oil and fuel filter at 90k and replaced all 4 rotors and pads at 100k. Other than visually checking for leaks, any other routine items I may want to look at?
In the past, I've replaced the AOS, water pump and coolant tank & cap. After 120,000 miles and 14 years, she still runs like a top!
