The shop installed Champion RN12YC in it and that is what is still there.


I'd give a set of these a try and see how it runs  ;)

Ok,  I will put them in and give it a try.  Thanks and I will let you know how it works out!

P.S.   My local O'reilly's has this plug for $2.19 each and they are in stock!

I finally got a free evening to swap the plugs! Thanks for the suggestion Ron and for the link to the inexpensive website Cudaken! 
I haven't taken it for a drive yet but intend to tomorrow evening.  Here is a picture of the Bosch platinum plugs that I did have installed. This is the first time I have seen this....the electrodes are half tan and half dark in each plug  :shruggy:.

Maybe the side that faces the intake valve gets washed by fuel vapor.  It would be hard to prove unless you made a mark on the spark plug to keep track of its position.


Hmmm... that is a good idea.

I took her out for a test drive and it is a great improvement according to the butt dyno! THANKS RON!!!! :2thumbs: :cheers:

I STILL can't believe how effective these plugs are.  I feel and sound like someone trapped in an infomercial for something that couldn't possibly work, but suddenly IT DOES...

That sums it up perfectly!  I think I will have to look for some for my SRT4 to try....
