You say you put in the “correct plugs” along with replacing the one coil. But I’m not convinced you had incorrect plugs in there before. The giant pic, haha, you included in your earlier post shows the exact same plugs I put in my car (also an ’01) in July. This car seems to like them just fine and, nearly 500 miles later, she’s still “running like a Champ” as you say, throwing zero codes.
Stl-986 (different thread) all but guarantees she eventually will—I’ll believe it when I see it. If they’re the “wrong plugs” why would it take thousands of miles for that to manifest? Especially when plug issues are only one of several things that can cause misfires. I tend to agree with
ike84: why would a reputable parts manufacturer (like NGK) risk their reputation by saying their part will work in a certain application (ie in a specific make/model) if it won’t? That just doesn’t make sense to me either.
I kind of hoped you’d replaced the coil and tried the new one with the NGKs still in there to see what would happen. But…if it’s runnin’ well now I guess that’s what matters.
Sorry to hear about your Dukes of Hazard moment…sh*&%t happens. I know. Ask me how..
