I can't find what the gap is supposed to be on my spark plugs. I was told they are platinum plugs, is that right? It is a manual 4 cyl. Thanx

Gag = 0.050 inch
Plug = AZFS22PP
There has been a lot of discusion on WHAT brand of plug to use. Use the SEARCH funtion and look for long threads on the subject. So brand work , some don't. I stick to Ford. Oh ya, '97 plugs don't work in a '95.

Go ahead and pop for the Motorcraft. They are about $10.00 each at the Ford Dealership, but they work.

Whats the point of getting Platnum plugs, and what would happen if I don't get them? is that.050 right because if I remember right mine are like.052 or 53, Ill have to check again.

What would happen is they'll fail much sooner than other plugs unless they are DOUBLE PLATINUM. Our ignition systems fire backwards on half the cylinders or something like that, that's why they're needed. Gap should be .053 or anything in that area.
