Sparkplugs...
Hmmm...i guess it's about to change sparkplugs....haha....i still have the factory spark plugs on mine with 140k miles.....maybe that's why the engine shakes soo much at idle and uses soo much gas....haha...woops...anyways....would yall recomend something like the Bosch Platinum 2 sparkplugs?
Thanks,

SparkPlugs.com has a good selection. I have had very good results with NGK plugs. From what I understand, Bosch +4's confuse the ECU and don't work well with some engines.

No, but these are the right ones for NA engines.

hmmm
hmmm..ive replace the air filter like every month...and its been idling like this for quite some time now.....the engine is running VERY rich though....you can smell the gas bad when its running.....could an O2 sensor be doing this...i think it is the factory one also....what else could cause it to run really rich?? or would this not have anything to do with my idling problem...??
thanks

Has anyone had any experience running Iridium Plugs? I just changed mine with factory plugs at 60k, I was debating on trying Iridium but didn't know enough about them.
