Okay, so I've seen the NGK brand to buy online, but when I go to autozone or advanced auto they tell me some freakin brand for the 2.0L and thats the only one they had. One lady at autozone was like, this can't be right because these are normally used in fords.

but when asked if its a 2.2L they give me all kinds of spark plugs, including NGK's....so my question is, do I just get the plugs for a 2.2 or what?

 

Just tell them to special order you the NGK's that you want. If they can't/won't just order them off line.

BTW mine runs NGK's also. $25 - $30 PER freekin plug!!!

 

WHAAAAAAA. My BMER is so expensive to maintain and for aftermarket.


J/K - Jackalope

 

Not complaining I was juuuuuust saying is all.

 

Yeah I know. Just felt like beeking a smart ass this morning.

 

No prob.

 

well you know Jackalope always finds a way in a post to make sure we know he drives a BmW.

 

Geeeez! I was just saying mine takes NGK also.

 

lol, well I don't feel like ordering them offline or waiting for them to arrive. Its coming up on the end of my 4 day weekend and I'd just like to get this done today if at all possible.

 

If you are looking for the step colder just go there with this part #NGK bkr7e. They should have them in stock.

 

Just figured I would keep the fu@k with Jackalope day going.

 

Update - So I got my spark plugs, exact same ones that came stock in the car. Had to order them, anyway, my next concern is, and damnit I wish I had a pic at the moment...( probably later ) is that the old plugs were pretty black. Some looked like they had oil coatings around the bottoms, but it wasnt much, and there wasnt any oil that I could see in where the spark plugs are...

I'm running a stage 2 tune pretty much with a 2.9 pulley and 42's. I know I run slighty rich due to the tune, but are the plugs supposed to be black like that?

 

Mine were really black too. Even when I put new plugs in & took the new plugs back out to take a look at them they were black also after like 1 hours of driving.

I'd like to know if this is normal also.

 

BKR7E I think the part number is 6907 (1 step colder)

 

I would like to bump this thread.....any other info on what the plugs look like after running them a while? I tried to find the NGK plugs in my small town, nobody stocks them, not even NAPA auto parts. I went with some cheapo copper autolites, one step colder with stage 2. I want to run a 2.9 pulley also in the future. Any advice?? My car felt like it had a slight miss, only 7000 miles. My interceptor gauge shows 6 to 10 misses sometimes at low rpm, but runs fine at higher rpm range. It just seems to sputter a little on take off and cold temps when I first start it. Also with slight accelerating uphill.

 

thats what i run are the autolites 3922 2 steps colder, let ur car warm up. is ur car tuned?

autolites 3922 $2 a plug.

 

I bought some other plug,...#50xx or something, like one step colder....autolite.... yeah, maybe $2 each or around there......it looks like my MPG maybe went up 2 mpg or so???... I am stage 2 tuned....GM tune..... will need a tune eventually..... my old stock NGK plugs were sort of grey colored on the tips......looked sort of clean, no oil or anything.... Since the day i bought it from the dealer, it just sounded like it had a small miss or whatever....could have returned for warranty work I guess... but decided to try it myself...... I am not sure how these plugs will run in wintertime here in Wisconsin..... The car runs better once it nears that 180 degree temp. In wintertime, that is about when I get home from my 20 minute drive to work...ha ha......
