Jeron,

If I had not done the repair today myself, and driven the car after I was finished, I would have a hard time believing that a brand new set of platnum spark plugs, designed for my car, could have such an adverse effect on the performance of an engine.

BUT NOW THE CAR RUNS GREAT, with the NGK plugs!!!!

The Bosch plugs I removed were burned and fouled.

By the way, the plugs I replaced today turned out to be +2s, with maybe 500 miles on them.

I bought them to replace +4s that had around 10,000 miles on them.

This all came about because I was inspecting the head looking for vacuum leaks that might be causing the problem I mentioned in my first thread.

When I removed the coils, I found a small amount of oil on the spark plug boots, so I decided to change the gaskets for good measure.

As I removed the +4 plugs I found them to be in poor condition. They where fouled and burnt. I just atributed it to the oil on the boots, and bought another set of Bosch plugs.

Won't happen again.

Thank you for the reply and the good advice.
Also thanks again to David.

Because of you guys I didn't go to alot of needless trouble and expense.

Even more important, I don't have to listen to my wife complain every day about her car running bad.
