On the threads ? On the tip ? Around the ceramic ? You'll need to be more specific if you want some help. How do you know it's not firing ? What does "it did not even look used" mean ? Did you car have a miss ? Please elaborate for guidance, deal ? Ken, 99 Silver Frost SE Zetec Atx, polished alloys, Kumho's, Pioneer hi power CD/AM/FM. Factory spoiler (added) Audi side lites, Borla stainless steel muff. Stolen, recovered in pieces. Looking for another Tour, preferably V6, 5 speed.

About the plug it had no coloring so it look like it was new,but i fixed it i did not have the plug wire pushed down all the way. thanks for the help. i will now go back too my Lurking.
