saturday tune up

bdub · Dec 1, 2007

well its saturday and i figured i didnt have much else to do, but work on the mustang, so i went out and got me a set of bosch platinum +4s, new accel 8mm wires, some oil and a oil filter, has anyone had any experience or problems with the +4s?

You might find that you have a higher RPM cut-out and a goofy idle with the plats. They don't conduct as well as annealed copper.

I generally wont use plats in applications not calling for them from the factory.

All that said, some folks on here have run plats and noted no difference.

Good luck.

+4's suck

The spark only travels to one electrode and the other 4 just block the air/fuel mixture from seeing the spark.

If you are going to run plats, stick to single electrodes. But i would run copper plugs anyway. 5.0's tend to run a little funny with platnium plugs. They are not a factory plug

Pssst....if you're doing a tune up, don't forget the fuel filter along with it. And you Cap and Rotor too if it's not already new.

Cap and rotor are always a good idea.

cap rotor and fuel filter are already new, just replaced the filter 3 weeks ago, plus 4's gonna get taken back, put them n the car, and as soon as i started the car it ran funny, going back for either some autolites or the accel plugs

Just stick with autolites. The 5.0's seem to love em

bdub · Dec 2, 2007

went with the autolite 25's , million times difference, bosch-ftl

90bluegt · Dec 2, 2007

Dude autolites all the way, I tried a different set when I first rebuilt my engine and the engine ran horrible. Autolites seem to work the best out all the plugs I have tried.

+4's dont run well on any car. every car forum I have ever been on has said they make your car run like crap.

bdub · Dec 2, 2007

yeah they def ran like crap on my car, took them back 2 auto zone with maybe 5miles on them and got the autolites, will never make that mistake again, only autolite from now on

Shakerhood · Dec 2, 2007

Autolite 25s gapped to the Stock Gap of .054 + %.0 Running as good as Gold!!!

JGT · Dec 3, 2007

i switched from autolites to motorcraft plats. they seem to burn better.

haha your avatar SO reminds me of a home vid i have of two chicks (one's an ex) that look SO MUCH like the girls in your avatar, gettin it on! i wish i had the balls to put it on the net! i have 3 vids that'd get SO famous on the net, (which is why i can't do it).... kinda makes me mad, but i'm not a total *******. i could be a stangnet hero!!

i just found some pre-vid pics, but i don't think i'll post them. also i thought the one girl was a blonde, but i just saw she's not. anyways! it still gave me an excuse to go look at them again!!!
ryan218 would probably end up marrying his hand before he ever learns how to drive if i did post!!!! :fairyfight:
