This has been covered a lot in the last month


Anyway, since your car is stock use NGK TR55s gapped between .055 and .060

I switched from TR55s to AC Delco Iridiums yesterday. I think it idles 3% better now. I also need to check whether or not I still have the radio interference I was getting with those NGKs, but I don't really listen to the radio all that much either.
