Hello all,
I recently replaced my at 65K miles with NGK Iridium. It is run perfect now.
Prior to changing it out, the CEL comes on with fail code P0300 with engine number 1,5,6 misfire.
I got the plug from Pepboy auto part for $7 per each.
my car is also a 2K3 TL/s

You can replace them with NGK iridiums or Denos Iridiums.

i put in bosch or ngk double platinums.... i forgot which one they were, but they guy told me they were the ones that were meant for the car... i heard the difference wasn't really noticable going from double platinum to iridium, so basically a waste of money for minor if any gains...

Now this is weird?
i replaced my spark plugs at 127k. With the old spark plugs I was getting 370 miles per tank. Now with the new spark plug, I am getting 320 miles per tank....wtf
I used NGK laser part number (PZFR5F-11) from this store(http://risingsunimportparts.com/pages/)
Can someone tell me what is going on with my MPG.
thanks
