Re: know any good spark plugs?

NKGs are the only plug u need for ur lude its specified by the factory to use them so use them. they are made for hondas. u can get the better NGKs with the split tip and those are better performance wise. just make sure ur gap is right.

Re: know any good spark plugs?

My lude has NGK's in it and that is what I have had in my other Honda's. I can tell you that I tried to put Bosch +4's in my wifes Explorer a few years ago and the damn thing would NOT run on them. It would start missing on one cyl after a bit (different cyl's) I finally took them out and got Motorcraft and then it was fine. I won't use Bosch again.

PS...wish I had my lude running:-( timing belt...bent valves...yech

Re: know any good spark plugs?

i wonder if BOSCH is sensitive to certain cars then. Maybe those Germans are quite selective. hehe
How about DENSO's??

Definitely! I have heard a lot of stories like fritcr´s with different plug brands. Stick with NGK or Denso and everything will be fine!!

just buy some regular NGKs and save your money. nothing else is going to make a noticeable difference except for power/weight ratio from the weight of the money that will be gone from your wallet.

Re: know any good spark plugs?

well boys I went ahead and bought the BOSCH +4 for $5.99 each. So far so good....actually I noticed some better torque and better gas mileage. If anything bad happens I'll let you guys know
