if no one actually knows i would call the local parts store and have them cross reference plugs and see what that plug is. i'm sure the ix has to do with something so it may be different.

The tr55ix is the ngk iridium plugs. These are the right plugs for your car, but i have read on the board that people have encountered a miss with them. I would take them back to where ever you got them and just get the tr55's. They are alot cheaper and have had few complaints.
