any suggestions for where to get the CU plugs (bosch, beru, whatever) in town?

(I've read varying things about platinum/iridium in 986, and reccs to stay with OE copper. But I've also read about folks going platinum. Never read about experience with iridium??? Couldn't make a lot of sense out of it, mainly I was wondering about susceptibility to edmonton weather conditions?)

As for fuel, I was definitely wondering about this ... I am using mohawk 94 octane (which has 10% ethanol ... which could throw o2 sensors off I'm guessing), but am going to try out shell V power today.

Problem is definitely progressing/ getting worse.

Do one plug @ a time
make sure they snap in
check condition of wires
Clear codes and start again

C if O2 sensor codes come up again
if not...great
if they do. ....deal with it then
what fuel r u using?
fresh?
when was fuel filter last changed?
Somethings to ask yourself
