Last time i got some plugs from Crappy Tire that siad would work for the styque, but when i went to put them in they wouldnt fit. On another note, I need to replace the spark plug wires too, and i was wondering if those perfomance ones are any better than OEM. Someone said in the Intake Posting that its little or no difference. Thanks for any info 95 Merc Stique Zetec 2.0 Auto

I have the O.E. Plugs from my car to prove it. Also, Autolite makes Motocraft plugs for Ford. To me it sounds like you had a know-nothing parts guy trying to sell you the incorrect plugs. The updated plug for all 2.5L engines are AGSF32FM. The Autolite APP764's are closest to what Ford originally spec'ed but now apparently Autolite is not making a fine wire single plat plug similar to what Ford now spec's ( XP104) Then: 99 Silver Frost SVT #1919 237hp/219tq All Motor Now: 06 White STI Parts 4 sale

I also heard that Autolite does not supply parts for Ford anymore.. because you can't get the Autolite double platinums from Ford.. In any case go with Autolite.. I also had Bosch Platinum +4 for 100,000 kms with no problems.. but because of mixed reviews I have switched to Autolite.. could also be that my car is non-SVT and SVT's have a reputation of not liking +4s cheers 98 Contour V6 MTX CTA Exhaust/CTA Intake/MSDS Y-pipe/Bat Handling Kit/Predator Alarm/Spec1 Clutch Kit/SVT Flywheel/G Assurances Fix your car yourself "It's not a UFO."
