OP BBorges_dup1 Hard-core CEG'er B Joined: May 2001 Posts: 1,631 CT	i just bought 4 plugs from the dealer and they gave me the following plugs: AYFS22FM But I noticed the thread is different length and the number DOES NOT MATCH the manual nor Haynes manual. I currently have the AYFS22PP. Can someone confirm whether the dealer is right and the FM will indeed work in the zetec (even though it seems like the threads are different) ? Thanks BB Anything is POSSIBLE... sowing the seeds of love"

Just use autolite APP5364 98.5 SVT 91 Escort GT (almost sold) 96 ATX Zetec (i brake to watch you swerve) FS: SVT rear sway bar WTB: Very cheap beater CEG Dragon Run - October 13-15

I just came off the phone with Steve (Jenkins' replacement) and he did say that is the new number listed for the contour. That the old PP's were replaced.

Thanks BB It's just an updated number...same thing with Autolite...5344 and 5364 are your choices. I used APP5364s the last time that I tuned one. More threads, seat depth is exactly the same, overall length is the same.

Methinks so. I saved one of the boxes in my tool box, if they're the same; I'll get the exact number off it. 2000 Contour SE 2.5L ATX - Toreador Red 2001 VW Golf GLS 2.0L MTX - Tornado Red Buy my possessed VCR!!

All i was thinking was to change the plugs not the wires is that ok to do? because im going to get ford 9mm racing plugs or w/e later on 2. What should i do stay with Auto Lite Double Platinums? or exchange them for Motorcraft?

You don't have to change the plug wires at the same time, they usually last longer than the plugs anyway. And a big "Oh yeah!" for the Zetec/Duratec plug difference. 2000 Contour SE 2.5L ATX - Toreador Red 2001 VW Golf GLS 2.0L MTX - Tornado Red Buy my possessed VCR!!
