do you realy have to change your plugs ever 10,000 miles

 

i do mine every oil change now. every 3k miles. small price to pay for piece of mind.

 

is there some kind of problem that they go through spark plugs

 

Not really, it just depends on how many mods you have. Now dazzel saying he changes them every 3 thousand miles, he has a big turbo and he drags the car so it would be allot of wear and tear on them. If you just use it as a daily driver, get some good NGK's or bosch supers to put in it and change them every 20000-40000 miles and you should be good to go. Good luck!!

 

i dont think the plugs have ever been changed coil pack and plug wires were changed 20300 miles ago but no record of plugs car has 72200 miles on it you think i should pull them and see how they look or just replace them if so what plugs would be best mods are in sig althoug its a dd i stil get on it prety good and like to race
thanx jon

 

72000 is time to change them, I would go with some NGK's, they are a bit more expensive than some but allot of the guys on here like them, if price is a problem for you, I really like bosch supers. They are only like 1.20 a peice and work pretty good, just dont get any platnum (sp?) plugs, I dont know if you are aware but they will burn white and make your car run like s$%#. There is a thread I belive at the top box on 1st gen on why you shouldnt, good luck!!

 

thanx for the help do you happen to know what size socket the plugs are

 

Stick with the stock Champion copper plugs and yes it is time to change them out for you. You may notice the car to be a bit peppier and better gas mileage.

Use a spark plug 5/8" socket. They have a protective sleeve inside the socket to prevent damage to the plug when installing.

 

got the Champion copper plugs changed them runs better dont know for gas mileage yet but my valve cover holes did not line up with the holes in the head so i had to loosen up the valve cover to get the socket in the tube why would that be

 

Is your valve cover stock? Do you have the raised letters on it?
