I have noticed in the past few weeks that when I accelerate my car jerks pretty bad back and forth. I was told I need new spark plugs, and to get the Iridium IX spark plugs made by NGK. Has anyone heard anything about these and if thats what I should get. Thanks a lot.

I put the NGK Iridium's in mine. It runs great. I've always used NGK and had great results. But the general consensus is to stick with the OEM or equivalents. I don't think you will go wrong either way.

I run NGK G-Power which are the single plats and they are decent but i might switch 2 the double plats b/c i didn't know that they were supposed 2 be double plats when i changed my plugs.

Plugs are usually relatively cheap, though I don't know how much the NGK's are. So, if you wanted you could always try them out and switch to OEM if you encounter problems. Be forewarned, though, my non-OEM plugs lasted about four months before showing any signs of problems, and that was only at high-load, high-rpm situations (floored at 80+mph with the ATX). The other risk is stripping the heads removing/installing plugs multiple times.

Don't have a Duratec, but do have NGKs. I have NGK Laser Platinums in my Zetec, they cost me $10 apiece  . I can feel a difference in throttle-response over my old Autolite double plats, but I believe they would make much more of a difference if I had new wires, better ignition, etc. No problems so far, although the plug was not the same length as stock, but longer. It's really up to you on plugs, though double plats and motorcrafts are always a good choice. my .02
