NGK V Power FR5-1 plugs-report from field...

14 months and 26,000 miles ago I bought my 96 Sport w/AW4. Did a complete tune up with new dizzy, wires, plugs, etc. Installed NGK V Power FR5-1 plugs.

Went back in today to see how the plugs were doing. All were burning VERY clean. Electrodes were still in great shape. Gap had gone out to 40-45. So I re-gapped to 35.

No need to buy new yet.

Also, I cleaned the throttle body and idle air valve again.

And replaced a vac hose that was cracked a bit, but probably not leaking yet. Just making sure.

All this brought back great smoothness, pick up, and idle.

Worth the time and effort.

I know plugs are always debatable, so for those that like info, I submit this regarding the NGK's. I like them.
