Question on part numbers/spark plugs

blueshark123 · Jan 24, 2008

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.

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 · Jan 24, 2008

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"

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.
