once upon a time plug prices were something else, and you know *cough* back before everyone was rich
now I'd expect to pay $4-6 with the upper end being NGK, still $15 for Denso and they can keep it
most are so cheap, I've put them in places where it couldn't possibly matter, because copper plug prices have risen near par
heat soak is one issue, but often times I've found the bad COP l on a plug gapped at 100 to 120 because people wouldn't change them
New plug, coil still bad (come on, I'm better than that)
this is my general experience across many brands, I'm not a certified anything, and I quit wrenching for money a few years ago
Back on topic. If I had a 4.6,
EVEN a free one I would not be revving it at all.
I said it seemed strange. You know how people are about cars.
"Can you fix it yesterday? I brought you the parts!"
I used to do basic work on anything that came to me, it's really hard to keep track. In this case, I know for sure it was a 96-98 Stang because the new styling was revolting, and they finished the massacre with that engine. Red, faded peeling weak arse red, teen driven.
As far as telling me about this and that. Pfft. I'm just saying what I've seen, it is what it is.
image search Denso 3403, Napa 3403, NGK 3403, do some application checks
I swear I've seen this number crossed over to a plug with a crush washer
unless you knew, it might never catch your eye, and I do appreciate you pointing it out
