ok. so i searched for this and i couldnt find it. but when i pulled the spark plugs out my fc they were different. but i didnt pay attention bc i just though it was the owner who fucked it up (it was repoed and i bought it at the auction). but yeah i put in all the same spark plugs in my car now. uhh is that bad? and if it is what kind of spark plugs do i put in it?

 

Stock NGK's, 2-leading, 2-trailing

 

uhh. probably a stupid question. but wtf does that mean?

 

The leading plugs (the bottom ones) are different to the trailing plugs (the top ones). They're different heat ranges, and should be marked L and T so you know where to put them. The trailing plugs also have two blue stripes on them.

 

stock = factory, not an upgrade
NGK= Japanese manufacturer of spark plugs
Leading = Leading plug, bottom of the 2 on rotor housing
Trailing= Trailing plug, upper " " " " "



Any auto parts store can get them.

 

alright awesome thanks.

 

wait. my spark plugs have g's on them.

 

The way i remember them plugs is T and L ... T=Top and L= Lower... i never get it wrong. And by just reading your post, i'm pretty sure u WILL mess up with the plug wires (putting them backwards). Hey, I did it when i was new.

 

What brand are they?

 

ngk.

 

it should say bur9eq or something similar, if not, theyre the wrong type.

 

leading- BUR7EQ
trailing - BUR9EQ

these are stock #'s

 

****. im sorry im about this yo. ha im new to rx7's im more of a nissan guy. ha. but yeah thanks.

 

sorry, unneccesary post

 

haha....yeah. my engine wouldnt start and for about a month i was pissed cause im new too! but to the point....i called a rotary shop and for $50, they told me that it was flooded...ha. they pulled the plugs out, i bought new ones, already knowing that i needed two trailing AND two leading, but i didnt know the wires had to go a certain way but something told me to check it, so i checked and the blue wires next to the CMC go to the trailing, and the black ones to the leading!

I think of it as a drunk person saying, "leading." it might be confused for, "lady." and the lady goes on the bottom. anyways....urs is a bit better.....and less sexist too!
