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

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.

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

Extracted from NGK Malaysia website

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
