What spark plugs from Autozone is recommended? 2004 EX I have a 2004 and I'm getting an error code for a misfire in cyclinder 3. I figure changing the spark plugs is the easiest to see if this solves the problem. Car has 212k miles on it and no idea when the last owner changed them. autozone says the car came with DOUBLE PLATNIUM. They sell autolites for $6.50. It looks like they have Bosch Iridium for $9.50. the cost difference doesn't matter that much to me. what usually works the best in this car? |
Re: What spark plugs from Autozone is recommended? 2004 EX NGK’s for Honda’s. I used iridium’s in my ‘01. |

Cool. I'll see if they have one of those. Any idea how long of an extension I need to change them? |

I did mine with a 6" extension and needing basically all of it. Really easy job. I've owned a bunch of cars since I sold it last year and it's still by far the easiest one I've done. |
Re: What spark plugs from Autozone is recommended? 2004 EX Just be sure to start them by hand, a chunk of rubber fuel line is good for this. |

or, if you feel like being fancy, they make a "spark plug socket" that is essentially a deep socket with a rubber insert. You'll need a 5/8" deep socket for your car. They'll be like $8 at autozone as far as spark plug brand, I'd stick to NGK or Denso This brand is duralast? |

What is the rubber supposed to be for? |
Re: What spark plugs from Autozone is recommended? 2004 EX magnet does the same thing -- keeps the spark plug in the socket until you take it out. Forgot they make magnetic sockets, too |
Re: What spark plugs from Autozone is recommended? 2004 EX Alright at least I got the right thing. I lost my spark plug gapper so I'll going to get a new one. Do these iridium ones get gapped to the same number as the regular ones? Do I need to blow the area out with a can of air? I saw someone on YouTube do that. |

Re: What spark plugs from Autozone is recommended? 2004 EX If the spark plugs don't fix the misfires, I would guess it's clogged EGR runners in the intake manifold. Pretty common issue with that many miles. This is all assuming your engine has EGR. |
Re: What spark plugs from Autozone is recommended? 2004 EX Never Bosch. Ever. Denso or NGK only. |
