just changed my plugs.

[CrawlingEye]

I pulled out my old plugs and put in my new bosch plat +4's and so far, I'm noticing quicker start-up by a tiny bit (start-up wasn't bad to begin with). I haven't driven it, so I can't say if the acceleration has smoothed out or anything yet.

Just for anyone else new (like me) who's doing this, disregard the haynes manual parts that suggest you twist/pull the boot, you just pull it (found that in the owners manual after 15 minutes of frustration).

you twist just to brack any conection the plug and wire have but after that you just pull

Didn't seem like twisting did a damn thing.
Once I pulled it, with moderate force, it slid right out.

i just changed my plugs with NGK V-Power copper cores. I notice better acceleration and better revs. THe old plugs were caked with carbon debris and other crap. I also changed out the plug wires and distributor cap.

Fun stuff

I'd like to go with the new wires and the cap, but the wires are like $53 for the bosch wires. =/

I'm not saying it won't get done, I'm saying it won't get done until next check.

further more, I don't think it'll really affect the the life of my engine. I'm not getting preignition or anything as of current, or any detonation.
