Spark plugs and wires

Ryan · 01-02-2008, 06:26 PM

I need to replace these and I have read the Zetec FAQ thread on what plugs and wires work with this engine but can anyone tell me which brands they have had good luck with.

I'm currently using Bosch Platinum +4 and 8mm Bosch wires. No real reason, got a good deal at the time.

FRPP wires with autolite double plats always worked well for me. im currently running C-F-M wires and motorcraft copper core plugs

cool, thanks guys, I'm just debating as to whether I am going to pick up stock motorcraft parts or going aftermarket.

I just installed NAPA/Belden wires.

Lifetime warranty to original owner. OEM style with nice boots.

Autolite Double Plats = Original Motorcrafts

The Autolite wires are good in my experience too.

just cheaper

True. I used the Champion DB Platium Plugs they work good. gap the plugs at .50. I used Bosch plugs running from the MSD Blaster Ignition Coil

I suggest not using The Bosch 4+ Platium plugs cause Ive heard over time they tend to misfire & decrease your car's performance.

i have the bosh plats 4+ and have had them for bout a year now and they SSUUCCKK!! so if you got the money go denso or NGK and ford racing 9mm wires from ZXtuner.com .................................................. ..............

why buy junk twice when you can spend money on the stuff you'll never use

I prefer using the original Ford Motorcraft spark plugs.
Mine lasted 67 000km and then bought new ones.
