Question on part numbers/spark plugs

[blueshark123]

Ok friend of mine got a diagnostics run on his 2000 Mustang GT. The mechanic told him he needs a new intake tube, MAF, and fuel rail pressure sensor. I am replacing the stock intake with a JLT cai. My questions are:

1. Should I replace the MAF with an aftermarket one or is stock the better choice. Is ordering the http://www.trademotion.com/partloca...3&make=10&model=Mustang&year=2000&catalogid=1 from newfordparts.com ok?

2. What is the part number for the fuel rail pressure sensor? I can’t seem to find it anywhere.

3. Would using AGSF-32C platinum spark plugs for this application be ok? And what are they suppose to be gapped at?

Thanks for the help in advance!

an AGSF-32C is a copper plug, hence the C. But either copper or platinum should be around .054 me thinks

Thanks for the reply. So I guess AWSF-32P is what I need. Any input on my other questions would be appreciated.

he needs a new intake tube

Wha? Is it OEM or aftermarket? Physically damaged? I've never heard of an intake tube 'going bad'.

Oh, and the OEM MAF is fine.

I am assuming the intake tube is physically damaged/torn somewhere. The car is NV and will be here next Sat so Im just trying to get the parts I need together. Thanks for the MAF recommendation. Any help on the Fuel pressure sensor?

just FYI, the AWSF's are short thread design

Is there a long thread platinum plug or am I limited to a copper long thread plug?

well i know they make a AGSF-12 EE double platnum two stages colder, cuz i though about running it - but i dunno if the make a 32 EE - probably

 

[blueshark123]

Yeah 12 would be way to cold for a nearly stock DD

These are the plugs i picked up for my car at Autozone.


AGSF-32PM
SP-493

They are the long threaded version


Gap is 0.054"

no need, Im here
now the FRPSensor's first generation part # was F8CZ-9F972-BE, this was replaced by a 3R3Z-9F972-AA on 4/24/03....

Sweet thanks guys!

So Im going to order the AGSF 32PGM spark plugs. Using copper anti sieze and torquing to 13 ft-lbs is cool?

no such part #, if you want "stocK" platinum heat range in a Motorcraft, it's a AGSF-32-PM which is now a SP-493, if you want the same heat range in a copper core, get a AGSF-32-C or SP-447....if you want 1 heat range down from stock in a Motorcraft platinum, you'll want a AGSF-22-FSM which is now a SP-459 or in a copper core AGSF-22-C which is now a SP-505

Errrr I copied the wrong number I meant AGSF-32PM/SP-493. Sorry for the mix up.
