First off I hope this is in the right forum since its a 96 Corolla but anyways. I took out her old spark plugs and oh my god they were TOAST the tips were completely greyish/white and the porcelain was even orangish burnt where it meets the threads! So we went out and I got NGK BKR5EYA V-POWER plugs, they said it was the OEM replacement so I thought wed try them. Anyone have any experience with these plugs? Ill try to hook up the webcam tommorrow and show these old plugs they are ridiculous!

Hmm, I'm in an impression that for a 4A-F(E) the plugs are NGK BCPR5ES

I'm using NGK platnum plugs. They seem to be ok for me.

You could be right about that engine but she has the AE102 1.8L

Well if I'm not totally mistaken, the head is the same as the 4A-FE as the 7A-FE

Not sure about that since Im new to Toyotas but on NGKs website even the 1.6L 4A uses the same plug.

Well... heres the plug I used for my 4AF... its NGK BCRE527Y and I'm holding the plug in my hand

Flashmn · 10-05-2003, 01:56 PM

Which is actualy the same as Densos QJ16AR-U....but then again the 7A-FE actually uses BKR6EYA. hmmm... but I guess if the thread is the same you could vary different plugs, as they would fit provided the specs are ok.....just weird to have many plug options :P

Yeah totally weird so many options, it gets confusing. It starts and runs so Im hoping its ok hehe
