check the spark plug caps. use a ohm meter to test the resistance. the spec is in the service manual. i think i run br8es plug, dont remember the gap though. sorry for all the vague info, im at school and have no access to all my info at home.

run B8EG and B8ES or anything better. Run the gap at about 25-30.

well i learned something new and it makes sense. guess i am full of questions...............which will fire "easiest" or hottest? or the most consistent. i guess i want the one that last the longest.............think my wife has said that sometime too?

well the number is temp. 7 is hottest, 8 is in the middle, and 9 is coldest if i remember right. the more money you spend, the easier it will fire, and harder it will be to foul it out.
