guys...i want to share with u some info about spark plugs...i've just changed spark plugs on my wira recently...it's a NGK G POWER..it's a platinum plug...when i fire up the engine it was fine..the next day i went on a journey from my hometown to kl...on my way...i found something is not right about my car..it feel sluggish/jerking only i'm overtaking and climbing the mountain...if u have ever driving from kota bharu to kl..u now what i mean..well it feel sluggish..then i found that the problem was that the spark plugs wasn't for my car...it's for waja or a gti...so guys u need to get full info on what spark plugs is for ur car...even for wira 1.5 there are two different version of it...depending on what year of production...and never trust 100% on ur foreman even he is a good tuner...find it ur self..

p/s:the funny thing is the fuel consumption was improve...weird..
 
wrong heat range?if not wrong p.wira heat range is 5 rite....
 
u can check the code everytime u buy standard plug... cold plug is deeper, hot plug is shallow..
 
cannot teach people not to trust their mechanic, but not 100% into the mechanic....

I know these mechanic really not pro. sometime they know aint right but for business, they will try their luck one....:biggrin:

be a smarter consumer then everyone will happy.....
 
Speaking about spark plugs, I have been recommended by my regular mech (who I don't go to anymore) previously that for spark plugs and it's related, we should just stick to standard spark plug cables and standard spark plugs meant for the car. Then, I got a bit itchy and changed to iridium spark plugs and performance 3-core plug cables. Now, I can sometimes feel my car jerking once or twice at random times. I'm going to change the cables back to original and also use back standard bosch super-4 plugs.

i think changing to high performance plug & cable is the best... ehehe:biggrin:
 
wira 1.5 should use NGK BPR5ES-11.
but u could not find this.
BP5ES-11 is the alternative.

remember the tightening torque is ~25Nm, a quater torque of wheel nut.:driver:

Don't want la. hehe I just changed back the cables to original cables and i took out my iridium plugs too. Changed it back to bosch super 4 and changed the distributor cap. My car jerk problem is now solved. hehe So I will just stick to standard plugs, cables. hehe

Wira 1.3, 1.5 2000~
Normal: BP5ES-11
G-Power Platinum: BPR5EGP
Iridium IX: BPR5EIX

Mine 4G15P+Bosch cable: Use G-Power b4 no problem, currently using Normal 1 also no problem. The only problem is G-Power more expensive :biggrin:
