ok noticed my 2000 tl was running a little ruff a couple weeks ago. 147kms. pulled the spark plugs looked ok but time for some new ones. i went to canadain tire which didnt have the exact same as what was in there but there books listed ngk's g power. close to the pzfr5f but they were just ?zfr5f didnt have the - 10 after them? i kinda forget what they exactly were i gotta pull em out to see. So car seemed to run better maybe put 500km on it. then wife complains its running like shit and the check engine light comes on. i drove it it seems fine but the check engine light is on. could it be the plugs? if so if i get the exact right ones can i reset the check engine light? or will it reset it self? i plan on getting the code reader and see what it says. thanks in advance

We arent even going to guess until you get the codes read. We can help you faster and better then. It may be the plugs??

 

Canadian \Tires has NGK Iridium in a package of 2 .
Why don't you get Iridium NGK plugs ? By the way , you might got the wrong plugs .

 

i don't think it's the plugs.. check the coilpacks..

 

It might not be the Plugs but I think you should not put anything other the NGK Double Platinum ( not available in Canadians Tires ) or NGK Iridium ....it's a crime !

 

yeah i was in a rush and the only other car place that is close is part source which is owned by can tire. they were platinum gpowers ZFR5FGP. ngk lists them for our cars right on there web site.

 

^ bottom line you need to get the codes read. Also double check that you have all the coil packs plugged in correctly/completely.

 

ok ended up taking it to the honda dealer. same price if not cheaper than everyone else to hook up the code reader. mis fire in 2,3,4,6. egr system needed to be cleaned out as the throttle plate? told me 1.5 labour. so i just got them to do it. seems to be working good now. thanks for all the help everyone.

 

Most auto parts stores do code reading for free

 

i tried a bunch of them around me. nothing. i almost bought a code reader cause there was one on sale for 150. oh well. i hope it doesnt come back on. i got a bad wheel bearing in the right rear though i gotta change it out. you think i am gonna need a torch for that? or any specialized tools? thanks again everyone for your help

 

Depends on how bad it is. SOme have had difficulty in removing it but over all there really isnt any thing special in removing it.
