my manual for my 99 GT says that the plugs on each side are different:

cyls 1-4: AWSF-32PG
cyls 5-8: AWSF-32PP

when i asked my plug question a week or so ago, killy and a few others suggested ONE plug to go in all of the cylinders, the "stock" one...but my engine has two different ones...should i go with the one that was suggested to me or get these two different plugs?

It just has to do with the way the car fires the spark and how the plug will wear. The different plugs have the platnium coating on the electrode or the ground strap.

Go with the AWSF-32PP, they will work in both banks while the PG will only work on 1-4.


Or AWSF-32c's if you don't mind changing every 15K miles instead

32P's are platnium plugs with the platnium coating on the electrode
32PG's are platnium plugs with the coating on the Ground strap
32PP's are double platniums with the coating on BOTH the ground strap and electrode.

Yes PP's are universal so to speak.

I don't hate platniums, i just beleive they have been incorrectly labeled as "better" plugs to run.

Platinum lasts longer, copper has a hotter spark.

The only platinums I hate are Bosch especially split and quad fire chump plugs
