I just fixed a shift issue in my 2011 by changing the spark plugs. The plugs were so worn they were draining the electrical system. Lights brighter and Stereo is louder in left channel now too.
Champion iridium. Champion makes the Mopar plugs. It's the closest thing to the original plugs without having to spend $30/plug.
I went 134,000 miles on a set of spark plugs on my 11 Ford Fiesta which is, what, a bit around 215,000 km? They were still in decent shape when I pulled them, just a bit out of gap spec, and I was still getting really good fuel mileage.
Had to replace the plugs and ignition coils last summer and that fixed it.
My 2000 Ford Ranger with a 4-cylinder and manual is just about the simplest vehicle that could exist. SOHC engine, so not much that can go wrong in it. It's very satisfying to work on because you don't experience the shitty feeling of knowing you spent way longer on something than it should have taken.
2005 CVPI...180,000 mi....spark plug blown out of head. The Crown Vic was purchased at auction for $4200 a bunch of years ago with 100,000 miles and was very good to us until about a week ago...original engine, suspension parts, transmission and very few repairs.
Champion is garbage.
Champion aren't a great brand. They may have been at one point, but not any more.
BEWARE O’REILLY’S AUTO PARTS CHAMPION SPARK PLUGS ARE WEAK AND BREAK AT THREADS AFTER HAND TIGHTENING AND THEN TIGHTENING NOT EVEN A QUARTER INCH OF A TURN, WAY BEFORE THE TORQUE SPEC AND THEY TWIST RIGHT OFF N BREAK.
Like everyone has mentioned just go back with an ac delco plug. I ran champions and had Mis fires, none of them were gapped right out of the box.
