Hi everyone,
I was hoping to get some assistance with a spark plug issue. I did some research on the internet and it seemed that platinium plugs were reccomended. I changed out the NGK coppers (stock) for the NGK platinums (ZFR6FGP) gapping to .040" as stated on the hood sticker.
Everything went fine but now the ride seems sluggish. When accelerating on the highway you have to give it more gas and it just does not feel as peppy as it was. I was really surprised because the old plugs were dirty and gapped all over the map.
The engine is not backfiring and it starts and runs smoothly, just seems to have lost power.
Any suggestions on what could be going on here? I am tempted to put in the NGK coppers as I do recall hearing a while ago that if the engine uses coppers, stick with them.
Thoughts?
