Default Plugs, Wires, Caps & Rotors

Changed all of these the other day on my SC4 and what a difference. Car idles smoother and even fels smoother running down the highway. Also got rid of a tick I was getting from the motor. I think that must have been one of the wires arcing somewhere. I looked in the dealer history and last time it shows plugs replaced was at 60k, I'm not at 185k.
I went with NGK platinum plugs and NGK wires. I highly recommend those wires. Exact fit so everything fits in the clips properly and under the covers.


Caps and rotors were a bit of a pain, especially the passenger side. I made a tool by welding an 8mm socket to an allen wrench to be able to reach the bolts without having to totally remove the timing covers. Worked pretty good.


I filled with gas that day and when I fill up again I'll see if it improved mileage at all.
