Spark plug NGK or AC DELCO
i use NGK G-power plugs in all my vehicles and they are the best ive found. they are about $2-3 tops and last forever, i have no complaints about the performance either.
I got on my last long trip 29-30 mpg doing 75-80 mph
OEM plugs which are NGK BKR5EKU used to get 26-28mpg @ 192k miles
after you get everything fixed don't run the oem plugs, they are too hot, if you want to run iridiums then get plugs that are 2 heat ranges colder and you'll be better off. you can also run copper plugs, i run ngk coppers that are 2 heat ranges colder and have had no issues at all.
I replaced my plugs with NGKs about 10k miles ago, I got them on amazon for about $12 a plug I think, engine runs great with them.
NGK BKR5E... Dual or single electrode, they both work well. These are the best plugs for these motors imo. They’re some of the cheapest as well.
I just installed STI plug wires and NGK spark plugs. After the install the car tried hard to turn over again but still gave me the same issue as before. Turns out the motor was not getting gas so I didn't need to get new plugs/wires, but I am glad I did because now my car doesn't idle weird anymore.
Car's is running smooth with the new wires and NGK spark plugs.
Stock on mine was .032, but my buddy's GLI was gapped from the factory at .029. I gapped my NGK iridiums at .028. I broke two plugs in the process...gapping iridiums with a normal gapping tool doesn't work!!
Me and another both ran BKR6E coppers for a week until the misfires threw a CEL. Logging the misfire counter, I was constantly getting misifres @ idle. I don't think copper is appropiate at all.
