spark plugs and wires?

[Jake.Ski]

what plugs are recommended and also what wires?

Do different plugs really make a difference?

 

[Ry' N Jen]

Factory spec NGK Copper core.
The KJ does not use spark plug cables. The coil pack plugs directly onto the sparkplug.

 

[Jake.Ski]

well then do the coil packs need to be replaced?
whats the average lifetime of them?

 

[Ry' N Jen]

I'm not sure, but our engine has 144K on it and is stll going strong!

I replaced mine at about 100,000 miles they were getting weak and also allowing moisture to seep in

How did you know they were getting weak? Is there a way to test them?
Mine have 119k on them. Sometimes the engine feels like it's misfiring, although the CEL never comes on. Usually when I'm pulling a hill and the RPM's get down to 1300, I feel either a miss or slight surge, but it's hard to tell. It only seems to occur when the engine is pulling hard at low RPM's. When the trans finally decides to downshift and the revs go up, everything is smooth and fine.

Mine are still good at 175K miles. I carry a couple of spares and will end up replacing as needed.

I was cruising around the internet and found a bunch o different coils at www.drivewire.com . I’m not saying they got the best ones or anything but there are many to choose from.

If replacing the coils OEM are the way to go.I replaced all mine about 2 years ago and paid like $24 each for OEM coils and at the time were cheaper then aftermarket.I think OEM ones can be had for under $40 each still.

 

[Jake.Ski]

now the question is, whats the best spark plug??

 

[Ry' N Jen]

The factory spec NGK Cooper core sparkplugs.

RockAuto? I saw that sale but I'm a little unsure since everyone is so sold on the NGK's. Can't beat the price though!

I can not use or recommend NGK spark plugs as I seen there quality 1st hand and not impressed,they do however do honer there word very well.The NTK line of O2 sensors are about the best out there but there plugs no so.
